• If you're in a diabetic or prediabetic state, it's good to have medication to go on for a period of time.

Only the minority of people can't control it.

• My editor and I remain very disciplined. It's just sometimes when you're making a film, you get into the cutting room and you see a scene that's slowing you down in a certain section, but if you remove that scene then, emotionally or story-wise, another scene a half-hour later won't have the same impact. You just get stuck with it.

• We think that we have to do so many things and it's unfortunate, entire modern society is besotted with the do-ables, we have to do this, we have to have a half-hour of yoga, an hour of meditation, 2 hours of this, and then 12 hours of work and non-stop electronic gadgets, gizmos etc. etc., and then go home and take care of the family, and then take the children to wherever, and what tends to happen is we do way too much. The society does way too much. One of the greatest things in healing is try for just one day to do nothing. Very difficult.

• The gym teacher's name was Mr. Caruso. Mr. Caruso did
  not speak English. He spoke 'Gym.' One day I was playing
  basketball and Mr. Caruso told me I would have to get
  an athletic supporter. He didn't express himself exactly
  that way, though. He said, 'Hey, you, one day you're gonna
  go up for a rebound and the family jewels aren't gonna
  go with ya.' I had no idea what he was talking about.
  Next day I showed up for practice without my watch and
  my mezuzah. He said, 'Did ya take care of the family jewels?'
  I said, 'I left 'em in my locker.' Took us a half hour to
  revive Mr. Caruso.
