I had a director who told me a story about a fan who had commented on how nice it was to see her sister laughing and how happy the show made her. I like to make people happy and make them laugh.
Professionally speaking, the proudest moment was when I booked the 'Human Stain.' I knew it had Nicole Kidman, Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris and Gary Sinise on board, and the director Robert Benton was an academy award winner for 'Kramer vs Kramer.'
In Montana, when we did 'Return to Lonesome Dove', we rode on the side of a hill at night in the dark; I was afraid my horse would step on one of the actors playing dead. The director said to leave it to the stunt doubles since they got paid for that...

I don't make a division between an art film and commercial art.

The best films of any kind, narrative or documentary, provoke questions.
I thought Jack's directing job was the best thing about the film.
The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.
I'd like to do a really masculine film.
In a film there a lot of people scheduling, you know.
Film has to describe and show.
My first film 'Saawariya' was a flop; I don't regret it.
Every film can be fun, even if it's a terror.

Doing a piece on film is completely different from doing it onstage.
I've done a lot of sorts of films that are under the radar.
