Perhaps naively I thought people understand what humor was, that it was invented by the human race to cope with the dark areas of life, problems and terrors.

I didn't think Comfort and Joy was going to be a box-office smash.

I don't really enjoy filming.

I was quite surprised how easily people wanted to pigeonhole things I've done.

The studio system reminds me of the stock market.

It means that if they misunderstood Comfort and Joy, they misunderstood my other films.

The movie business is very much like that: people in authority making purely emotional decisions instead of interesting rational ones.
