Watching a movie should be like hunting. Out of context, every image of the cinema is yours for a split second. Take them before they bury it.

I'm here today because of LSD. LSD gave me the confidence to be who I am today. Completely.

To me, beauty is looks you can never forget. A face should jolt, not soothe.

I like the word 'underground'... 'independent' carries a stigma of whininess. 'Underground' means a good time.

Maybe I'll just write books. I'd like to make another movie, but I don't want to go back and [do] what they want you to do, to make it for a million dollars. I did that. I don't need a lot, but I need what I used to get, and they don't give you that anymore.

My films can be considered political action against the tyranny of good taste.

I've had it with being nice, understanding, fair and hopeful. I feel like being negative all day. The chip on my shoulder could sink the QE2. I've got an attitude problem and nobody better get in my way...I'm in a bad mood and the whole stupid little world is gonna pay!
