The filmmakers always have a great level of control.

I find that screenwriting is at best kind of a hackwork in some ways.

Everybody's a filmmaker today.

I've always had trouble with authority.

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.

Most artists think they're frauds anyway.

I also thought of myself as the Sonny Barger of the film industry.
