Stephen Sommers Quotes

[on why he will not be a screenwriter for “Magic Kingdom for Sale”] I usually write everything I direct, and I’m tired of working seven days a week. It’ll be fun to turn to Lowell and Babaloo and go, ‘You figure it out.’
Don’t let them tell you less is more. More is more.
[He has just demonstrated (badly) what emotion he wants in a chase scene, then looks at the camera] You see that? That was me acting. That’s why I stay back here.
