The filmmakers always have a great level of control.

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

Everybody's a filmmaker today.

I'm the barbarian of Hollywood.

A lot of directors don't know what they want to do. Every director I've seen that was a good director that I've admired knew exactly what he wanted to do. They didn't sit there and think about it.

I felt that the Star Wars series became very pretentious as time went on. Just heavy and leaden.

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