For my 10th birthday, what I wanted was Beatle boots and a Beatle wig. My parents couldn't find Beatle boots, but down at the dime store, Woolworths or someplace, they found a Beatle wig!

As a director, I've wanted to have adventure in my life, creative adventure. I think it's partly because I grew up, basically from age six to 26, mostly on television series where the producers find something that works and then do it over and over and over again.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've worked with Bette Davis, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda. Here's the thing they all have in common: They all, even in their 70s, worked a little harder than everyone else.

I developed a theory that, in many ways, the early 'Andy Griffith' episodes especially were an awful lot like a Capra movie. They were a lot like 'Mr. Deeds' or a lot like 'It's a Wonderful Life' in tone and presentation.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't choose something unless I think I have a personal understanding and something I can offer. It's not always thematic. I wanted to do 'The Grinch' because I wanted to direct Jim Carrey creating that kind of comic fantasy character live. I just thought that would be a mind-blowing experience, and it creatively was.
- Know

I don't vacation on the water. I'm a pale-skinned redhead; I get sunburned out there. I'm a little frightened of the ocean, in fact. But I just know there's great drama out there.
- Gold
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nina Gold is a fantastic casting director. She's doing the new 'Star Wars' movies, but she also does 'Game of Thrones' and many of the Working Title movies, and she did 'Rush.'
- Important
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Early on in my career, when I had basically been a sitcom actor for all of these years, and I made my first movies, and they were comedies, and they were successes, it was very important for me to stretch, and 'Parenthood' was one of those films. Even though it was a comedy, there was a great deal of authentic drama in the piece as well.
- Lust
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just don't think of myself as an actor much at all, so I don't lust after any particular roles.
- Demons
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have very close friends who are very devout Catholics, and I talked to them before the 'Da Vinci Code,' and it was very difficult for them, but I talked to them before 'Angels and Demons,' and they said the scandal, abuse of power and violence was part of church history, which you can read about in the Vatican bookstore.
- Nov 07, 2020
With 'Apollo 13,' I wasn't sure the genre would work, because space films hadn't done that well.
- Internet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm interested in all forms of content, including Internet and gaming. On the TV side, cable has sparked a renaissance of the medium and that will continue for storytellers.
- Risks
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you're not out there taking some risks, if you're just coasting along with your wins, then you're not really trying.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Television, particularly as it becomes more and more serialised, comedies no longer have to tie the stories up neatly within 20-plus minutes. 'Arrested Development' had evolving storylines, as did both versions of 'The Office.' We're seeing that more and more. That allows it to be really, whatever the tone, almost literary.
- Interesting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not really a sequel guy. I did 'Angels & Demons' after 'The Da Vinci Code,' because I like working with Hanks, and I felt it was a really different sort of world that we were visiting. That was, of itself, interesting.
- Nov 07, 2020
The regrets I have are strong enough that I wouldn't share 'em. I think that you can't live without suffering some.
- Destiny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It was always my dream to be a director. A lot of it had to do with controlling my own destiny, because as a young actor you feel at everyone's disposal. But I wanted to become a leader in the business.
- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not a caterer. I just have to stay with my creative convictions. At some point, you have to just get past the special-interest groups and do what you're there to do, which is make a movie.
- Understand
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've acted with all types, I've directed all types. What you want to understand, as a director, is what actors have to offer. They'll get at it however they get at it. If you can understand that, you can get your work done.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I had to choose between a great acting job and a good directing job, I'd choose the directing job.
- American
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always been interested in the Depression as this very dramatic pivotal period in American history.
- Fan
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Outside of his loving family, I'm sure that Andy Griffith was Don Knotts' greatest fan.
- Fight
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Why fight technology at all? The audience is always going to tell you what they like best. And you, as a storyteller, as a communicator, are going to be required to adjust to that.
- Grabbing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Once or twice in the height of 'Happy Days' excitement, which had more to do with Henry Winkler as The Fonz than ever had to do with me, we were kind of like a boy band for a year or so, and we would go out on personal appearances and feel the limousine rocking, and the grabbing at your clothes and people trying to steal your cap.
- Nov 07, 2020
My wife and I invest very, very conservatively.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
Early in the second season of 'The Andy Griffith Show,' I ventured a suggestion for a line change to make it sound more 'like the way a kid would say it.' I was just 7 years old. But my idea was accepted, and I remember standing frozen, thrilled at what this moment represented to me.
- Kid
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I acted as a kid. I always liked it, but I don't really have a performer's personality.
- Mirror
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're an actor, you often feel victimized - you see the end result, 'Oh, they didn't use this take; they didn't use that take. How come?' There's no 'How come?' with the director. There's only one person to look at. Walk over to the mirror if you want to know why. But I prefer that.
