Someone once told me that every minute a murder occurs, so I don't want to waste your time, I know you want to go back to work.

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.

A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.

Even my failures make money and become classics a year after I make them.

I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.

A woman who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing doesn't want to go to the movies to watch a film about a woman who spends all day washing and cooking and ironing.

If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on.
