Sometimes in the middle of a presidential campaign, there's a political movie, and people are sick of hearing about politics, and they don't want to see that movie. They'd rather see "Godzilla."

In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.

I get offered a lot of the same type of thing... The teenage slasher movies.

What is acceptable in our culture, I think, is really detrimental. I think we ought to have a little more ownership over the kind of material and the content that we put in front of people, especially young people.

You sleep with people all the time that you hate.

When you consider the many ways in which people have to make a living every day when they wake up, I figure that eating 20 eggs isn't that bad.

I'd like to never be able to get pigeonholed, which is difficult to do.
