I found 'Celebrity Gangster' intense, dramatic, a real page turner.

No one wants to hear from the producer. He's the guy by the pool with a cigar in his mouth and a couple of lovelies on his arm. But when you're a director, they want to hear what you have to say about everything - the war, the world.

From Irwin Winkler

As a producer, the most important call you can get is on Saturday morning, when the Friday-night grosses come in. As a director, you want your film to be successful. But your outlook is a bit different. You become very conscious of the reviews.

From Irwin Winkler

Even some of us who make movies underestimate their influence abroad. American movies sell American culture. Foreigners want to see American movies. But that's also why so many foreign governments and groups object to them.

From Irwin Winkler

This is certainly not to excuse the violence that exists on TV and films and on the Internet. But the truth is that wherever you go in Europe, there are American films and TV shows that are just as popular as at home. And you don't have that sense of violence in any other place other than America.

From Irwin Winkler

We all know we have a prescribed amount of time on Earth. We just don't know how much.

From Irwin Winkler

The thing that's strange about Frank Vincent is that actors of his quality are usually big stars.

From Irwin Winkler

I just think there's a general interest in the world of computers.

From Irwin Winkler

I remember when 'The Right Stuff' opened in Hollywood. I got dressed that morning and drove my car down to the theatre that it was playing on, thinking that there would be mobs of people outside. When I looked, there was nobody there.

From Irwin Winkler

I have an Oscar on my mantel.
