I remember looking through magazines or watching movies even just a couple of years ago and being like 'I really want to be part of that ' but not realizing what that was.

I think being self-referential is really narcissistic. Who's to say anybody's even thinking of you that much? But some of these movies that I've done people still recite lines to me even 20 years later.

You have to read scripts and audition and develop relationships. It takes a long time to develop a body of work but over the last 25 years I guess I've done that many movies. In hindsight it may seem effortless but there's a lot of work that goes into it.

I like to direct movies but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it.

I played Winnie Cooper on 'The Wonder Years' from ages 12-18 and did a few other movies during some of the summers.

I will make action movies I think for a few more years another five years.

When we talk about how movies used to be made it was over 100 years of film literal physical film with emulsion that we would expose to light and we would get pictures.

I never really got nightmares from movies. In fact I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared but I never was.

I've seen many many movies over the years and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.

Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.
