You asked me my favorite question: What happened and what did you learn from being under contract to MGM? And the answer is I know how to make movies. I understand how to do that. I've been doing that my whole life. It's just easier to raise the money yourself and then hire yourself. It's possible if you reduce your own budget a little.

What that situation really needed was a little eyebrows.

After I got out of the studio system, I was completely [broke] for the 30th time; they said I’d never work again. So I’m going to go and produce those movies that they wouldn’t let me do.

Women love romance, but they're not as romantic as men.

A woman beautiful facially can negate all her beauty by no longer being feminine.

The worst drug of today is not smack or pot - it's refined sugar.

There's so many characters they [studios] are not letting me play. And I thought, "Why don't you just go produce it yourself?".
