I Don't Think Screenplay Writing

Most Of My Films I Call Arena Films. I Deal With A Confined Area -- An Arena -- And I Try To Cover Every Aspect Of It.

I Insist That They Do What They Became Actors To Do. I Want Them To Create Something And Not Just Hit Marks And Say Words. So They All Love That Because They're Playing. It's Called Playacting. Their Contributions Are Not Only Welcomed, But Are Accepted And Used.

[the Player Is] Not A Truthful Indictment Of Hollywood. It's Much Uglier Than I Portrayed It, But Nobody Would've Been Interested If I'd Shown Just How Sadistic, Cruel And Self-orientated It Is.

I Have Never Made A Movie That's Attracted A 14-year-old Boy.
