I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has enjoyed my films. I am very proud of my filmography. I admit I’ve made some terrible movies but for the first thirty years that was just because the movie wasn’t as good as the script, and in the last 20 years it’s just because of money

When they asked me to do Jaws I said no. I said I wanted to watch it but not have to shoot it. Eventually I came to my senses. It only took a few weeks into production to realize that Steven was a genius and he was going to change the world. RIP Rob & Roy

Demi is one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. As is Bruce. An irony about working with both of them only late in my career is that by then they already knew my kids through school with their kids.
In 4th grade during recess a boy pushed me down and a piece of wood got stuck in my glass eye. The school wouldn’t remove it bc they were afraid of liability. Demi Moore walked in at the exact moment, saw me crying, scoffed at the teachers, and pulled the stick out of my eye.
