I actually love Stephen King’s writing. I mean, we, actually, at Castle Rock, we’ve made seven movies out of Stephen King books. Rob Reiner Read Quote
The first time I ever met Stephen King, he came up to me, and we went to shake hands, and he had, like, this fake rubber rat that he kind of, you know, shook at me. You know, and I said, ‘No, this is a cliche – this can’t be. Stephen King is trying to scare me with a fake rat?’ It was just really weird. Rob Reiner Read Quote
A lot of times I’ll make films that are mostly character-driven films – stories that involve people. Like, I make the joke: I like to make movies about human beings that live on Earth. Rob Reiner Read Quote
It’s the only way I really know how to tell the story is to be able to kind of live through the characters. So when I find something that resonates with me, it’s usually because it cuts to something very real inside of me; something that I’ve gone through or experienced. Rob Reiner Read Quote
You – I don’t think anybody ever forgets the first person they fell in love with. That’s something that everybody remembers, and it doesn’t matter what the time period is or where; I mean, those feelings are always the same. Rob Reiner Read Quote
You work with every actor differently. It’s like if you’re a mother, if you have children, some children need more discipline. Other children, you back off of a little bit and let them be. It’s the same way with actors. Some actors need a lot of hand holding. Other actors like to be let be, and you let them go. Rob Reiner Read Quote
I saw ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel.’ I liked it. I saw ‘The Fault in Our Stars,’ and I could see why young girls like it. But it dropped off like crazy in the second weekend. I liked ‘Fed Up’ – I love documentaries. I go to a lot of documentaries. Rob Reiner Read Quote
As far as getting my start, it was really Norman Lear, even aside from being on ‘All in the Family.’ He helped me get my start as a director. He was the one who said, ‘Let him do ‘Spinal Tap.’ Let him give it a try,’ because I had been trying for years to get that thing off the ground. Rob Reiner Read Quote
We agreed that we cannot let personal political attacks get in the way of doing the very best we can for California’s children. Rob Reiner Read Quote
