Alcohol decimated the working class and so many people.

There are movies that change the whole way in which films are made, like Klute, where Gordon Willis’s photography on the film is so textured, and, they said, too dark.

You gotta understand, when moving images first started, people wanted sound, color, big screen and depth.

I loved the idea of seeing the world through a boy's eyes.

Music and film are inseparable. They always have been and always will be.

I think when you're young and have that first burst of energy and make five or six pictures in a row that tell the stories of all the things in life you want to say... well, maybe those are the films that should have won me the Oscar.

My films really have to be a part of a whole body of work that says something to me.
