Films are always pretentious. There's nothing more pretentious than a filmmaker.
I mean, the old film critics just excoriated me.
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.
I find that screenwriting is at best kind of a hackwork in some ways.
A lot of people thought of me as a threat to Western civilization.
Matter of fact, the style that people use today, I invented in a way.
