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.

I don't know what DVD commentaries are about. I'd like to strangle the person who came up with that concept.

That's the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.

My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there.

The actors that I love to work with, they're hard on me. They're pushing me.

Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
