My job is going to be to direct the film - I'm going to do it. And that's where my job ends.

No one can stop me from talking about my movie.

I don't care if I get $50 million to do a film.

I'm a lapsed Buddhist like I'm a lapsed Catholic. I take it to a point.

I grew up in the '60s, which was a creative time, so it wasn't that big of a stretch to go from a baseball bat to a guitar to a film camera.

My job is going to be to direct the film - I'm going to do it. And that's where my job ends.

I don't want to live anywhere where I'm breathing two million cars' fumes and paying a zillion dollars for the right to be totally hassled.
