A few years after 'Melrose Place,' when the luster of 'Melrose Place' wore off and what was left was just the stink, and I was just doing bad TV movies, that was a personal low point. I felt I needed to stop doing those, and I did.
I want to do movies that I'm proud of where my kids, at some point, can see and I can feel comfortable sitting there watching it with them. And just that move people. That make people feel a little bit better about themselves when they leave the thea...
What I look for in a script is the plot point and whether they're strong, obviously, or not, whether the characters are rich or not, and if I can do justice to the character or not. Some movies you look at and the script is so bad that no one can do ...
Rex Kramer: [points out the window] There he is. Striker, you're coming in too fast! Ted Striker: I know, I know! Elaine Dickinson: [relaying] He knows, he knows.
[trying to lug a burning roof beam off of a helpless Bruce] Alfred Pennyworth: What is the point of all those push-ups if you can't even lift a bloody log?

Young Ed Bloom: There comes a point when any reasonable man will swallow his pride and admit he made a mistake. The truth is... I was never a reasonable man.
Charles "Chuckie" Sol: What do you want? [the Phantasm points his right arm at Chuckie] The Phantasm: I want you, Chuckie boy.
It wasn't until I stood in my truth and told everybody that I had $250,000 in credit card debt. At that point, everything turned around for me. I had to reveal the truth about what I didn't have, more than pretend about what I did. That was interesti...
