When we were trying to get the money for Driving Miss Daisy, everyone kept saying no one could direct it well enough to entertain an audience for 100 minutes essentially watching three people chatting in the kitchen.

Driving will never be away from me - I can't just give it up. It's all I've ever done, and there's something about being in that car.

I have moments where I miss my old self. But I think anyone can get caught up in what we used to have. But at the same time, we can choose to focus on the beauty of now.

I wish that my life could be like the movies, like 'Bonnie and Clyde' or 'The Hunger' or 'Harold and Maude.' And... it can be! It maybe just takes somebody else who is as fearless as you. It takes a person who will not hesitate.

I've been a lucky man. I've only faced one real tragedy: the death of my wife, Maggie, from cancer in 1995.

The road had the lonely times, but I kept myself busy.

I regret not learning to drive when I was younger.

Movies were a struggle for me - they didn't come easy.

If I hear one more tailgate in the moonlight, Daisy Dukes song, I wanna throw up.
