Trivia
In his memoir, he describes how Jim Belushi trashed his office on the Paramount lot because Feldman was producing Wired (1989), the story of his brother John Belushi's fatal descent into drugs. Belushi told Feldman's secretary, "You just tell him who did this." The secretary replied, "I would. But I don't know who you are, sir".

Quotes
The one thing the business lacks now is courtesy. As a producer, you're always ready and you're always expecting to get blitzed by someone; they don't like you or don't like the script you have. But in the old days at least we had a common respect for each other for having the chutzpah for doing it.
