I'm not a kid trying to make an impression in the business. I do have 600 films out there that are playing constantly.

Continuity is a wonderful thing, and it is a very rare thing in show business.

The minute I went into business, I was a success, and I've done well ever since.

I've asked every grammar schoolteacher in the nation to have their students write on the meaning of the Statue of Liberty. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the winning kid got up to the microphone and, in front of the world, had to dig into a pocket to pull out a crumpled sheet of paper containing the words that would move us all?

I don't want to make an 'Animal House.' I'm not interested in making 'Ghost Busters.'

Television is like a library. There are a lot of library books in it, and you have to pick and choose what you take out of it.
