The further away I am from water, the less well I do!

I used to joke that I was trying to sell out, and nobody would buy me.

There is right and there is wrong, I have NEVER been wrong.

I can't complain about anything. It's like saying, "I don't like talkies." Time marches on and I don't care how people watch my movies as long as they see them. I don't care if they're on their phone. Believe me, if you ever want to watch my early films they would look a lot better on your phone than they would on a movie screen. The smaller the better.

I have no interest in ever making a movie I didn't write. If they were going to take my house away, then I guess I might have to. But my agent knows not to even bother sending me the scripts.

Stop blaming your parents. If you're really angry at 60 years old, you're an idiot! You've got to work some of it out.

I don't think I had a bad influence on anybody. I made people feel better about themselves.
