We're all far too afraid of being so arrogant to say "Either you can or you can't."

I turn up in Los Angeles every now and then, so I can get some big money films in order to finance my smaller money films.

I wanted to work with those boys (producers Andy and Larry Wachowski) because they're so eccentric and peculiar. Larry, of course, is halfway towards being a woman now. It's a crazy world.

I've never known what I've wanted to do. I've never planned anything in my life.

Lotte Lenya was all emotion. She wasn't anything but emotion. She was not an intellectual.

If you listen, you learn; if you talk, you don't.
