| 1 | [on Phillip Borsos] He had done these three essays, film essays at a very young age. He made his mark in the business early. So directing _The Grey Fox_ (1982) at 28-years old wasn't a surprise. |
| 2 | On critics: I stropped reading reviews years ago. Especially the negative ones. |
| 3 | I asked the independent filmmakers: 'how did you get all this stuff for your film?' ... And the guy simply said...: 'we asked...' So that's the advice I give young filmmakers . Never be afraid to ask for anything. |
| 4 | Everyone in the business has their ...shtick... their song-and-dance. |
| 5 | Hollywood gives a lot of artistic credit, to, and is fascinated, with, people who don't come from Hollywood. |
| 6 | We can all admire great work. I've always admired Francis Ford Coppola. But few consider the affects and how devastating and destructive great filmmaking is on the filmmaker's family. |
| 7 | This it the crazy-making business. |
| 8 | Composing music for One Magic Christmas (1985): Working for Disney was a unique experience for me... After I finished the score and we recorded, I get a phone call and the voice said: Michael, it's Michael Eisner, I want to talk about the music'. He proceeded to rate each piece of the score like a report card... I'd never encountered that way before. |
| 9 | When I first started going to business meetings in Hollywood, I noticed the strangest thing...everyone I was meeting with just happened to be finishing-off a 'very important' phone call with Rock Hudson... |
| 10 | As a music composer I've had those frustrated moments where I wanted to drive my motorcycle off the Lionsgate Bridge. |
| 11 | When I review my career, I did some great work in film. The one thing I never found was the right filmmaker to spend my years with... |
