Death is what makes life an event.

I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf, I can.

The internet in hotels should be free - and I really resent it when they charge you five dollars for a bottle of water beside your bed.

When you make a film it is like asking yourself a question. When it is finished, you know the answer. Ultimately with all of cinema, we are just trying to learn about ourselves. I have always used the opportunity to make a film to learn more about myself, which I am still doing.

Ten Days That Shook The World, by Eisenstein, I went to see it, and I was so impressed with this film, so impressed with what cinema could do.

When that happens - when risk is taken and the filmmakers dive into the subject matter without a parachute - very often what you get it something with those qualities that make it age well with the public.

The time a movie is made is unique, not only from the talent that is available but if the public was ready for it.
