Curtis Hanson Quotes

Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.

Pedro's Almodovar different - very unique, very particular and difficult to compare to anyone else. But I've been lucky with many of the people that I've worked with. I think I've been very lucky with great opportunities - directors like Stephen Frears, Cameron Crowe and Fernando Trueba, as well as Bigas Luna, who gave me my first opportunity.
