[On Charles Chaplin]: The greatest compliment I ever got was from Chaplin. He came up to me and said `I wish I could talk like you on the screen.` I said `I think you`re doing alright.` He had made $50 million by that point. He was the best comedian we ev...

[at the Coolidge Award ceremony in 2006 for Meryl Streep] I was redundant! Meryl Streep doesn`t need a director. She`s kind to them; she`s really nice. She`ll compliment you, and say, "That was good - what you did." I was so happy the next day to get on t...
