At certain points if your life, you like doing more. I'm not sure what causes it or for what reasons; you just do it.

If a person is constantly evolving, constantly reading new material and being exposed to new material and growing in life, then you're becoming, hopefully, a more intelligent and well-rounded individual. If you're not then something's wrong and you're sliding back in the other direction.

I don't really get into a big intellectual analysis of why I am going to do a certain script or not.

I had always planned when I started directing in 1970 that after a few years I'd get tired of looking at myself on the screen and say: "Hey, let's not do that any more." But then every once in a while something pops up. I'm not saying it won't happen again but probably the odds get less as you set yourself for roles that fit your age group.

I just make the pictures and where they fall is where they fall. If somebody likes them, that's always nice. And if they don't like them, then too bad.

There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.

I don't watch a lot of films. I'm usually involved in making them.
