The day you're born, you get the pink slip on YOU. Outright ownership. You must only share that life with those that you and only you choose.

I've had great success being a total idiot.

I've had the greatest respect for my work in this country by Americans. Critics have no brains.

People think I'm against critics because they are negative to my work. That's not what bothers me. What bothers me is they didn't see the work. I have seen critics print stuff about stuff I cut out of the film before we ran it. So don't tell me about critics.

A lot of people resent that I've been in someone's life for 50 years. Why shouldn't people have an affection for me and what I've done? Didn't I have to be genuine for them to buy into what I did? There are children who grow up today who will not have that when they're 55 years old. With whom will they have it? Name an example for me.

Adrenaline is wonderful. It covers pain. It covers dementia. It covers everything.

Every man's dream is to be able to sink into the arms of a woman without also falling into her hands.
