Most artists think they're frauds anyway.

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.

Most artists think they're frauds anyway.

There is a certain kind of respect for authenticity today that there wasn't back in the days when they did 'Cleopatra,' where everything looked like a giant motel. People want to have it be authentic in the look, and authentic in the way people behave.

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'm the barbarian of Hollywood.
