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.

I never got a formal education. So my intellect is my common sense. I don't have anything else going for me. And my common sense opens the door to instinct.

If you're an old pro, you know how well you're doing when you're doing it, and your inner government spanks you if you're not doing well.

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.

Pity? You don't want to be pitied because you're a cripple in a wheelchair? Stay in your house!

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

I get paid for what most kids get punished for.
