I'm not a gardener. I don't have the consistency for gardening, and I have barely enough for an orchard. I don't embarrass myself. You have to be there tending and weeding. With orchards, you can go through negligent periods and recover.

I've been lucky to be a part of many blockbuster movies... in which it's hard to get to that level of being memorable, but I still have fond memories of 'Independence Day,' to be sure. There are also many small ones I've had that give me many fond memories.

I have never forgotten John Candy's generosity. He showed me how to be a gentle leader.

With While You Were Sleeping, it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story, that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.

Rural towns aren't always idyllic. It's easy to feel trapped and be aware of social hypocrisy.

There was an idea of accepting everyone; there was no sense of exclusion.
