But Madonna has a small amount of talent when it comes to movies.

It's an entire industry focusing on young male viewers that want action and violence. They sell us something that isn't valid. They're selling films like a product.

And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film, because it's one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

I think you get better as you get older.

I think I've done pretty well. I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards, so I don't have any complaints.

Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

I work with a lot of movie stars.

I was very disappointed that Denzel didn't win Best Actor for The Hurricane because I thought he deserved it.

Every generation deals with the breaking down of its tradition, and I think that they rediscovered the film.

I mean they're making remakes of my films and I'm not even dead yet! Why would you want to make a remake?

I still get a lot of material but I find that as one gets older you get more fussy. You know you're going spend a year or a year and a half on this and you know there are only so many films in you so you get a little bit more selective.

I don't make films to win prizes. I make films to make films.

In America there's no rights for the artist, so whatever films I've made kind of belong to the studio.

And I think all Nazis didn't see themselves as bad people. I've never met a racist yet who thought he was a racist. Or an anti-Semite who thought they were anti-Semitic.

A lot of American actors I work with are in character all day long. You can't talk to them. It's Method and the whole thing.

I don't like to think that maybe I'm just getting old. I'm not too excited about watching a huge explosion. I'm more interested in people and characters.

We're always on the side of the animal that's being chased. We always seem to be on the side of the rabbit or the fox and not on the side of the hounds.

Michael Caine is a movie star, but he's also a great actor. I can't say that about every movie star. It's the concentration he has.

Well, you know the old line - to be nominated is what it's all about. I think that I've done pretty well - I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards in total, so I don't really have any complaints.

With most British actors, it's amazing. I think they start with the character on the outside and work in.

Everything Sholom Aleichem talks about in his plays and his short stories is about people, family, man's relationship with his God, the breaking down of tradition.

Look, I'm just a storyteller. When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda.

When I make a film, I never want the film to become a vehicle of social propaganda. If I wanted to do that, I'd make documentaries.

When you shoot a musical, you're shooting to lipsynch tracks, so we had to figure out our choreography and work out what we wanted to do with each number before we did it.

I'm in the mood for another Moonstruck experience, for another romantic comedy.

I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.

When I was 15, I made a solo record. It made Artie very unhappy. He looked upon it as something of a betrayal.

You see that's what I think is such a terrible, terrible betrayal, the trust that people have in government.

Is it possible to succeed without any act of betrayal?

The issue of the Betrayal was so central to that, I felt the need to comment upon it. My choices were to ignore the games and put them "outside" of continuity or to integrate them. I chose the latter.

Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.

Part of the problem is how little we understand about the ultimate betrayal of the body when it rebels against itself. You always worry about charlatans. We found that specialists did not know as much as we thought.

The betrayal of trust carries a heavy taboo.
