And I think all Nazis didn't see themselves as bad people. I've never met a racist yet who thought he was a racist. Or an anti-Semite who thought they were anti-Semitic. |

When you shoot a musical, you're shooting to lipsynch tracks, so we had to figure out our choreography and work out what we wanted to do with each number before we did it. |
I don't make films to win prizes. I make films to make films. |
I still get a lot of material but I find that as one gets older you get more fussy. You know you're going spend a year or a year and a half on this and you know there are only so many films in you so you get a little bit more selective. |
I was really excited to have the opportunity to make Fiddler. |
A lot of American actors I work with are in character all day long. You can't talk to them. It's Method and the whole thing. |
Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. |
I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film. |
I work with a lot of movie stars. |

Everything Sholom Aleichem talks about in his plays and his short stories is about people, family, man's relationship with his God, the breaking down of tradition. |
And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film, because it's one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. |
