“And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mo...” — Norman Jewison Quote

And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film, because it's one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

I'm just a storyteller.

I don't make films to win prizes. I make films to make films.

I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.

Moonstruck... was one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

Comedies are something I'd be very interesting in doing.

I don't have any favourites, but I like situational comedies, not forced ones.

Think about the superstar actresses of that time where romantic comedies ruled, like Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock. They themselves had power alone - it didn't matter who the male leads were, the audience would show up for it.

But I prefer to go to comedies. Give me Julia Roberts smiling anyday.

I really like dumb romantic comedies; that's the way I can turn my brain off and let go.
