Movies are an expensive business.

I don't experience basic human emotions. It's not my thing.

Nobody will leave any place unless they're forced out. That's the nature of humans. Once you're there, you're there. I've never seen anybody get up voluntarily and leave any place.

Most entertainment is trying to get you. It's tested, like toothpaste.

You always got to be happy when somebody likes what you do. It's stupid not to be happy.

What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is. If you had an unlimited budget, if you were a billionaire and you financed your own movies, then you can either date, because you can sit in an editing room for six years, like Howard Hughes, and never finish anything.

The biggest waste of brainpower is to want to change something that's not changeable.
