“I love comedy. I’m not known for comedy, but I love it. I’ve done a lot of it, in my lifetime. But most people are surprised to hear that I made a funny movie.”

When you let me take I’m grateful. When you let me give I’m blessed.

Curious how often you Humans manage to obtain that which you do not want.

I consider myself more spiritual than religious.

Those who cannot hear an angry shout may strain to hear a whisper.

Whatever I have given, I have gained.

This time, there have been a lot of interesting discussions about the subject matter, and I’ve had a good time talking about it. And in some of the cases, I’m not just signing books – I’m showing slides and talking about the work

I began working with a family camera. It was called a Kodak Autographic, which was one of those things where you flopped it open and pulled out the bellows. And I’ve been at it ever since – I’ve never stopped.

Because I have been lonely, I value love.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.

I use a computer. I don’t know if that qualifies me as a techie, but I’m pretty good on the computer.

I became involved in photography when I was about thirteen years old.

I’ve enjoyed photography, ever since I was a teenager, and I’m still at it. I’ve had shows in various cities, around the country, and I have a number of pieces in permanent collections in museums that I’m very proud of.

I’m a huge romantic comedy fan and have been in this business for 17 years and I think for all 17 I’d hoped and dreamed and wished to some day be in a romantic comedy myself.

If you’re going to make a comedy and if your sole interest is in making people laugh and feel good and entertaining them, then you check your ego at the door.

It’s a more ridiculing, divisive humor today.

If you check your ego at the door when it comes to comedy, you’ve got a pretty good shot at making a great movie that you can commit yourself to, you can jump off the proverbial cliff with, and have a great time, and the audiences respond to that.

Many a truth is told in jest.
