A lot of people thought of me as a threat to Western civilization.

The filmmakers always have a great level of control.

I may not be the strongest guy or the most well armed, but you can put me in a room with a pencil and a piece of paper and I can kill anybody.

Matter of fact, the style that people use today, I invented in a way.

I suppose when I started out I would have liked to have been the darling of critics or something, but everybody wants to be loved and admired.

Charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

Egotism is not a good quality. It's not something to be admired or even tolerated. It wouldn't be tolerated in a field commander and it shouldn't be tolerated in a movie director.
