I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If Id wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasnt worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie.

I dont have a problem with fame. I got into this business intending to be very successful, but I wanted it to be at my price.

I think The Exorcist is the best American horror movie ever made. Friedkin was at the top of his game.

Pacino's always played the suffering prince. I just find that interesting.

Everybody acts like they're in a movie in most movies. That's why they stink.

My method seems to change to everything, especially when you get older. You have more of a resonance to be able to grab to. When you're younger, you have these big boundaries because you don't know how to get you to where you are. When you get older, you have a few tricks that you can pull off.

You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie.
