I'm not a very skeptical person.

People always say life is short. I've never been convinced of that - mine seems to have a tendency to go on and on.

When you think of how history is revealed, we know certain things to be facts at certain periods of time, which turn out not to be so factual as time marches on.

It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.

The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.

Where women are concerned, the rule is never to go out with anyone better dressed than you.

I'm more likely to lose my temper on a film set than almost anywhere. Often the level of idiocy is so exalted that it's impossible to comprehend.
