A movie should be as long as one can hold their bladder

I like stories with lots of psychology.

I’ve never been very keen on women who hang their sex round their neck like baubles. I think it should be discovered. It’s more interesting to discover the sex in a woman than it is to have it thrown at you, like a Marilyn Monroe or those types. To me they are rather vulgar and obvious.

Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn't change people's habits. It just kept them inside the house.

The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them.

Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.

Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.
