I was really excited to have the opportunity to make Fiddler.

I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.

When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda. If I wanted to do that, I'd make documentaries.

We also have a tendency to root for the fugitive. We're always on the side of the animal being chased.

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.

Every generation deals with the breaking down of its tradition, and I think that they rediscovered the film.
