I'm just a kid. I've got a lot of stuff to do yet.

You have to steal a lot. You have to have a criminal mentality to be a film director.

I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.

As you get older, you're not afraid of doubt. Doubt isn't running the show. You take out all the self-agonizing.

I like a drama. And I think that's the basis of good films, or good plays, is to have a nice drama.

Everybody thinks making films back to back is a big deal but they did it all the time in the old days.

I've never met a genius. A genius to me is someone who does well at something he hates. Anybody can do well at something he loves - it's just a question of finding the subject.
