In their words

  1. “And at one o'clock in the morning, he walked upstairs to our bedroom, woke Lauren, said, "Talk this guy into it," which she just said, "Go do it so I can sleep." And I ended up making the movie, and dear Bill became a good friend.” [12:24] Scrooged (1988)
  2. “These were tough effects to do in those days, because there were no computers yet. This is all done... Physical effects and green screen and... And... Whereas I look at it today and I say, "Gosh, you could do that like that." In those days it took us a long time. A lot of trying to figure out how to do it.” [22:21] Scrooged (1988)
  3. “That was the nice part of working on this picture, it was very homogenous. Everybody loved to work. Everybody loved to come up with ideas, and you don't stifle them. You ask them to come forward and say what it is. Even if it's bad. If it's bad, something good will come out of it. If it's good, it makes me look good.” [1:18:01] Scrooged (1988)
