I direct, and I make movies I can't finance. I can't raise money. I can't sell anything. I make things.

I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.

Making money is not gonna change anything about what I am, except I won't answer the door.

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.

It's funny, the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast, loose and improvised, and get somebody to laugh.

A script is not a piece of literature, it's a process.

It's always a problem when you're working with people you don't really know. Most filmmaking is about shaking hands and just starting. You know, these month - or two-month-long endeavors that millions of dollars are based on, and the people doing them don't even know each other, or know each other under pressure, or know each other when things are really... Which filmmaking is completely done under in many circumstances. You're under constant crisis, making a movie.
