They're not the sharpest people - babies. So, you must be everything to them.
From Paul Reiser
She kind of reminds one of Helen. There's something very similar about Elizabeth Perkins.
Nothing would make me happier if Peter Falk would finally win his Oscar for this. Not just as the writer but as a fan and a friend. It would be so great.
Not only do I sing to him, I sing entire conversations. You become Jerry Lewis.
It's not like some movies where you're following a bunch of different stories you can cut around. There was nowhere to cut to. It's these guys. We're not cutting back to anybody else.
In the original draft I was 27 and Peter was 55 in the script. That's not the same as a guy in his 40s and a dad in the end of his 70s. It's a different point in both our lives.
In fact, I had the idea because of Peter Falk. I saw my dad watching a Peter Falk movie and something clicked in my head. I gotta go make a movie for Peter Falk and me.
The biggest thing I remember is that there was just no transition. You hit the ground diapering.
I'd never directed before and this movie's too important to me to put in the hands of some guy who has never directed. Even if it's me.
I'd distract myself until finally it was a combination of things. The show was over and I had time on my hands. I had taken time and played and just relaxed.
