Sometimes I wish I had never met you, because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there.

With 'Good Will Hunting,' Miramax made certain the recruited audience wasn't expecting to laugh at Robin Williams like they normally do. From my limited experience, you can really blow test screenings by conducting them in the wrong way.

I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.

Free time keeps me going.

You're following your track, the story, your only plan, your map for the audience, and all the other stuff is, like, the fun stuff: the costumes, the locations, the set-dressing and the actors. They can all be variable as you like if you stick - however roughly - to the path.

I was once a shameless, full-time dope fiend.
