When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it.

I think everything has some politics to it. It's just whether or not it admits to it. Politics is weird. I don't even know what that means any more.

I just love the process of working with other actors.

My point was that it's hard to make good films, but I'm not under any illusion that you do all the time.

All the choices we make in our life are pointless. There’s no escaping the inevitable.

The British keep employing me, and that makes me like them. It also makes me think they're very intelligent.

The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.
