She is the best actress I've ever worked with, ... Silkwood.

Corpse Bride.

Well, for a nine year old kid to be able to earn $110 in one day compared to $10 for a paper round, the economics were even obvious to a ten year old.

I seem to have a knack for picking movies that go on to be cult favorites.

I guarantee you, (Dakota) is the best actress I will work with in my entire career.

Dakota is as good as Meryl Streep. She's as good as Goldie Hawn. There are things about Goldie as an actress that Meryl doesn't carry. And there are things about Meryl that Goldie doesn't carry. But Dakota does. She carries things of both of them. Her perceptions are very sharp.
