On directing the "ER" (1994) episode "Motherhood": "When I was directing ER, I didn`t want to stand out. Everyone else is wearing all that crap. I wanted to fit in.

Then, I wore the blue scrubs, which were the surgeons,` for a few days. When I wore the nurse`s pink scrubs, though, that`s when I became a hero on the set. The nurses didn`t think I was going to throw in with them. I ended the episode, the last two days, wearing the nurses` scrubs. When I walked on the set all the nurses applauded me.

(on Michelangelo Antonioni) He`s done two masterpieces, you don`t have to bother with the rest. One is Blowup (1966), which I`ve seen many times, and the other is Notte, La (1961), also a wonderful film, although that`s mostly because of the young Jeanne Moreau. In my collection I have a copy of Grido, Il (1957) and damn what a boring movie it is. So devilishly sad, I mean. You know, Antonioni never really learned the trade. He concentrated on single images, never realizing that film is a rhythmic flow of images, a movement. Sure, there are brilliant moments in his films. But I don`t feel anything for Avventura, L` (1960), for example. Only indifference. I never understood why Antonioni was so incredibly applauded. And I thought his muse Monica Vitti was a terrible actress."
