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.

My life is proof that I don't need you to do what I do. If there's no one to see it, I'll watch it.

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

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.

I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.

In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.
