Zitat des Tages von Peter Billingsley:
Why would you want to remake a movie that has endured for more than 25 years?
I've been really lucky in that I've been able to work so much, and pretty much everything I've done has been really great fun.
I guess I've always had a similar-looking face.
It's a rare film that has staying power. 'A Christmas Story' is not just a funny movie but something that connects with people.
I've always been self-motivated, but I can't take a ton of credit for any success I've had.
It's nice to be known for a pretty great movie.
I stopped acting a long time ago and my primary career has been producing-directing film.
I think if you turn down the volume on the good comedy, you should not even know if it's a comedy or not. It should look like a drama.
I had brothers and sisters and did chores and had to pick up the dog crap in the yard and mow the lawn and do all the normal things that kids have to do.
When I first heard 'A Christmas Story, the musical,' I thought, Oh, that could be really good. It just felt like it fit. Some films lend themselves well to other formats, some don't, but there are so many fantasy sequences in the film, and Ralphie's such a dreamer as a character, I thought they could really lend themselves to being set pieces.
A lot of people don't like child actors.
Guys like Alvin Adams, Sweet D Walter Davis, Larry Nance, and Kyle Macy became my basketball heroes.
'A Christmas Story' has become such a special part of the holiday season for so many families.
I'm a big watcher of sports, consumer of sports content, so I love documentaries; I love the format.
When you're involved in those big-budget movies, there's a lot of hype: 'Oh this is gonna be a big hit!' And 'A Christmas Story' wasn't. It came and went and was a big disappointment at the box office.
When the St. Louis Cardinals arrived in Arizona as the Phoenix Cardinals, I became a fan and still am today.
