I always say the next one is my favorite.

I did have an offer to direct one of the Alien movies but I wasn't too excited about all the effects work.

48 Hours was fun. Back then Eddie Murphy was very inexperienced, and Nick Nolte was.

But, I don't know, I really don't spend a lot of time, I think what you've got to do is you think about what you're going to do next.

I don't much like looking back.

I guess I never had a better experience than working on The Long Riders, and at the same time, I never had a harder time than what I did making Southern Comfort.

Get Miramax to send me down to Australia. I'd like to see it.

I get a great high from writing.

I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a very modest movie.
