Movies in Hollywood now, for the past 20 or 30 years, are made mainly by lawyers or agents.

The way we have done pictures has to be disappeared.

Through most of my career I've made a decent living making movies no one wants to see.

If direction is a look, montage is a heartbeat. To foresee is the characteristic of both; but what one seeks to foresee in space, the other seeks in time.

To live in society today is like living in one enormous comic-strip.

If you have $300,000 to shoot a cigarette on a table, it's an enormous amount of money. Maybe that's why my movies are the way they are. But it's the only way I can make a living.

Action can make you laugh. But just because you are glad. Even if there is no meaning.
