There were a lot of interconnections between the casts of the two shows. Noah Wyle was Mandy Pantinkin's godson. There was room for everybody to wish each other well, but the networks and the press seemed to want to make a big pissing contest out of it.

It's the same thing that drives people to want to experience sexual pleasure or have one too many drinks. We all want to experience the other, and to get out of our daily existence.

This was a major motion picture, it was a good role, it had all the earmarks of something that could very well be an "event movie" because of the heat these films are getting right now and the fact that Jamie Lee was returning to something was an homage to the granddaddy of all of them.

It's a lot of work and I also feel like I've done it. I miss comedy. And I also think that, from purely a logistical standpoint, that the day-to-day schedule on a comedy allows you to have a life, much more of a life, than on a drama.

You're going through the horror of it, you're going through the isolation of it but you're being empowered by reminding yourself that you're connected to everybody else.

People have said, "It's pretty surprising that YOU would do a horror movie," or "We don't think of you as a guy who'd be in a horror movie," and I say, "What the hell does that mean?"

I think in the case of horror, it's a chance to confront a lot of your worse fears and those fears usually have to do, ironically, with powerlessness and isolation.

People can get obsessed with romance, they can get obsessed with political paranoia, they can get obsessed with horror. It's isn't the fault of the subject matter that creates the obsession, I don't think.

I think that's created a healthy environment. The comparisons to "ER" were maddening and there was this assumption that the two of us were looking at each other with rage and resentment, which was also not the case.

I really would have been stupid not to have done it. It was also a film that was actually happening, I mean, Miramax was doing it, and it had a kind of legitimacy to it. And once I read the script, I was there.

On my side of things, I was sent a script and asked if I wanted to do it. So, whatever decision making went into it prior to that, I'm not privy to.

We all look to have transcendent experiences that lift us out of the everyday, and fear is a good one. But, I think it's the same reason why people want to laugh their heads off.

I don't go to see a movie because it's a Western, or because it's a comedy. I go to see it because I've heard great things about it, or I know the people involved, to the extent that I know they do good movies and I'm interested in seeing their work. That pretty much covers all genres.

"ER" is clearly a phenomenon that really takes place once in a decade, if you're lucky. It was clear that we couldn't compete with that.

I think it helped that it's clearly Jamie's film, so nobody was bucking for center stage, because we all knew who had center stage. My experience has been, when there is a strong and generous leader, at the core of any kind of project, it creates a healthier environment.

H20's not just a horror movie. I mean, if somebody called up and asked, "What do you want to do?" I might not necessarily have said, "I've got to do a horror movie." To be completely frank, I'm not sitting around fielding offers all day long for movies.

The idea of it becomes a little freaky if you're dealing with someone who has trouble differentiating between fantasy and reality, but that's a concern no matter what kind of movie you're dealing with.

The place was crawling with youngsters. It was good, because the kids were good. I can't make a general assumption. Again, you're probably getting, as a general theme from me, that I don't make a lot of broad, sweeping rules about movies.

I can't imagine Steve Miner didn't have a lot to say about it, because we had worked together on an episode of "Chicago Hope" and had a really good level of communication with each other. I think he probably was an advocate for me.

I have rarely been treated as well, during or after a project and they bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule because I was shooting "Chicago Hope" simultaneously.
