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

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.

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

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

The filmmakers always have a great level of control.
