I accept this great honor in the names of all those people who have contributed to my life's work.
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.
He was right. I get frantic when I have to send an email.
I don't make films to win prizes. I make films to make films.
But Madonna has a small amount of talent when it comes to movies.
Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
Michael Caine is a movie star, but he's also a great actor. I can't say that about every movie star. It's the concentration he has.
Look, I'm just a storyteller. When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda.
It's an entire industry focusing on young male viewers that want action and violence. They sell us something that isn't valid. They're selling films like a product.
I was very disappointed that Denzel didn't win Best Actor for The Hurricane because I thought he deserved it.
I work with a lot of movie stars.
When the small independent film, which depends on its artistic appeal rather than wide commercial distribution by an MPAA member, is now denied access, the playing field becomes unfair and uneven.
Obviously, In The Heat Of The Night was a landmark movie because the timing was perfect. It was in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement.
I'm in the mood for another Moonstruck experience, for another romantic comedy.
