A woman doing comedy doesn't offend me, but sets me back a bit. I, as a viewer, have trouble with it. I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies in the world.

I have some very personal feelings about politics, but I don't get into it because I do comedy already.

When I would be myself, I was being big-headed. I was being egotistical. I was a megalomaniac, when it really was just having not to be a monkey for a few hours a day. And fulfilling the need to be a man.

Make film, shoot film, run film. Do something. Make film. Shoot anything.

I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream, when I lock into someone or something, you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship, that's a deal, that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand, that's for life.

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

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