Never turn your back on a friend.

I never said all actors are cattle; what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.

I like stories with lots of psychology.

In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don't want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings.

Suspense is like a woman. The more left to the imagination, the more the excitement.

Actually, I have no regard for money. Aside from its purchasing power, it's completely useless as far as I'm concerned.

Mystery is an intellectual process... But suspense is essentially an emotional process.
