I've never been on a movie where they play five-dollar Friday. I must not be very observant.

In America, instead of making the audience come to the film, the idea seems to be for you to go to the audience. They come up with the demographics for the film and then the film is made and sold strictly to that audience.

They've got this crazy actor who's 82 years old up there in a suit. I was a mayor, and they're probably thinking I know how to give a speech, but even when I was mayor I never gave speeches. I gave talks.

Kids piercing themselves, piercing their tongues, what kind of masochism is that? Is it to show you can just take it?

Hitchcock used to believe that if there were three or four memorable scenes in a film that would be enough to drive it, but I don't know if that's true or not.

Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have messed with? That's me.

The thing that haunts a man the most is what he isn't ordered to do.
