A good director's not sure when he gets on the set what he's going to do.

Anybody who informs on other people is doing something disturbing and even disgusting.

There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.

I was able to capture on film things the actors didn't even know they were doing.

I'm going to make a film where not one word is really important. I'm going to make it all action.

Acting, I found, was the biggest charge I ever had. What other artist has it so good? Approval so quick?

I would rather do what I did than crawl in front of a ritualistic Left and lie the way those other comrades did betray my own soul.
