The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed it is the purest of human pleasures.

You will attract the younger generation and they might well prove tougher than the older generation. What we are trying to do is to look at the future and see what we can do to bring some stability back to people's lives.

Sometimes when I'm going to sleep I think 'Oh God my future husband is out there somewhere and I might know him or I might not and I wonder what he's doing and I wonder if he knows me.' I just always think that's so fascinating that even when you were two years old your future husband was out there somewhere.

There are certain moments when we might wish the future were built by men of the past.

It's so funny when you're actually directing because things start popping that you don't expect to pop and something that you think is going to pop maybe doesn't quite have the impetus that you thought it might.

So there's a temptation to think too highly of Robin Williams's uneven but occasionally funny 'License to Wed.'

People forget how outcast 'They Might Be Giants' can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft funny clever melodies and they also make a lot of music for kids which is terrific but when you see them in concert they can rock the house.

It's funny how many people will come to Vegas to see your show where they might not come out to see you unless you come to their hometown.
