[on Carroll O'Connor]: Carroll set the tone of how we were to work on All in the Family. He was very inclusive--he allowed everybody to participate, and say what they wanted. He really was a thoughtful and intelligent person who cared about injustice. Whatever we all felt--whether it was about the Vietnam War or race issues or women's issues, those things got into the show and he was part of creating that freedom. Hide

He couldn't have been more different from Archie Bunker. He cared about the little guy. He shone a light on bigotry and ignorance and hope. Arguably, he created the single most indelible character in the history of American television. - on his All in the Family (1971) co-star Carroll O'Connor Hide

[on running for political office] I have thought about it. The problem was, I was seriously thinking about it a while ago, and then the family sat down and we all talked about it, and then I polled about 40 percent in my own family. I figured if I can't carry my own family, then I'm not going to run. Hide

Stand by Me (1986) was a unique directing experience because ideas came from everywhere. Doing a period piece about the world of childhood is an adventure, each day on-set; people from the crew threw their own childhood memories into the production. Hide

[in 2007] I like to think of myself as a very young old person. But you start thinking, 'How many years am I going to have to be productive?' Especially in our business, youth is so stressed. You start thinking, 'How many more movies am I going to get to make?' Maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll make five more. Hide

[on why his career skidded in the late 1990s when he split his time between movies and politics] People kept asking me, 'How do you balance it?,' and the point is, you don't. I know now, about me: I can't split my attention in that way. It doesn't work. I mean, it shows, to be honest with you. You can't do both. Hide

[on his on- and off-screen chemistry with Carroll O'Connor, who played Archie Bunker] Every week, we came up with a little play, and the collaborateness, and the way that Norman Lear allowed us all to contribute. That was the most fun, and what I've learned from Carroll O'Connor [as an actor] has held me in very good stead. Hide

[on producing The Bucket List (2007)] This is kind of a little minefield here. You want to get the tone right for it. This is a subject that you have to deal with comically. It's still got to be funny. You want sentiment, not sentimentality. These are all the sidewalls you want to not fracture the picture on. Not that I don't like an easy job. Hide
