Steven Spielberg

I just saw your picture.

I loved it.

Where'd you get the idea?

And start a conversation.

He was the number one, holy shit, that guy loves my movie director.

And I'll tell you the story.

Quickly, Albert Brooks was a friend of mine, called me up, and he said, did you give Stanley my phone number?

And I said, yeah, because he asked for it.

Why?

Because he called me at 3 o'clock in the morning to tell me how much he loved Lost in America.

And then, and then Stanley and Albert began to relate, began a friendship from that moment.

Do you imagine getting a call from him at three in the morning?

I was never aware of times.

He called me at the strangest hours.

He was, he just didn't have that kind of, I mean, I'll never understand Stanley.

I don't have to.

I was not in his family circle.

But I feel that Stanley allowed me to be a colleague.

And the greatest honor he afforded me was he let me into his professional circle and he treated me like a colleague.

And he was very generous with his compliments when he saw a movie I made and liked it.
