Well, you know the old line - to be nominated is what it's all about. I think that I've done pretty well - I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards in total, so I don't really have any complaints.
As you know, in America there's no rights for the artist, so whatever films I've made kind of belong to the studio, so if they want to remake it they can.
I accept this great honor in the names of all those people who have contributed to my life's work.
He was right. I get frantic when I have to send an email.
We are very excited about what the future holds for professionals in the Canadian entertainment industry,
Many of our graduates have gained national and international recognition for their creative excellence. We welcome the support of the Ontario government in giving our local artists a chance to make a huge difference both here and abroad.
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'm in the mood for another Moonstruck experience, for another romantic comedy.
I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.
Betrayal... is my favorite subject.
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 work with a lot of movie stars.
I was very disappointed that Denzel didn't win Best Actor for The Hurricane because I thought he deserved it.
I don't make films to win prizes. I make films to make films.
