I Like Actors Who, When

I Like To Think Of Film-making Not Just As An Act Of Personal Self-aggrandisement But Rather As An Act Of Public Service.

I Think If You Watch Most Of My Films With The Sound Off, You Could Still Tell What's Going On.

I'm Considered To Some Degree A Successful Director Working In Hollywood, Making Films My Way But Using Studio Financing. But With Almost Every Single One, I Get Praised Up The Wazoo By People Who Never Would Have Financed The Films. It's: "gee, This Movie Is So New And Different - What Do You Want To Do Next?" "this." "oh, That's Too New And Different."

Acting Is A Lot Easier Than People Think It Is.

The Kindest Thing A Director Can Do Is Look With Open Eyes At Everything.
