We should never forget that Hollywood was built by Europeans, and the old Jewish boys from Eastern Europe.

My family's from Eastern Europe.

I'll never forget Spencer Tracy. He only worked from nine to one - then from three to five again.

I've never lived in Eastern Europe, although both my wife and I have ancestors in Poland and Russia - but I can see the scenes I create.
