I have my misgivings about 3-D. I don't like the lack of blacks and whites, how it dulls the image, how the color gets corrupted. I don't necessarily like the experience of having heavy glasses in front of me.

The amazing thing is that the more money it takes for a movie to get made, the more you feel like everybody wants you to fail.

Style is just an impression. Style itself is hollow. Style, its ok style as long as it is part of a language. Style for style itself is just something very hollow.

Cautionary tales were fantastic in the '70s.

Y Tu Mama Tambien' is one of the first unrated movies to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. But many video stores won't take a movie that's not rated, so I had to make the movie an R.

If I would rescue one of my movies, it would be 'A Little Princess.'

No 'rules.' What are you, British or something? I guess I'm too nice... No wonder people take advantage of me.
