I'm convinced the Beatles are partly responsible for the fall of Communism.

Because I just loved to spend two years of my life in the company of Andy Kaufman and other characters.

Well, I wouldn't say that this experience had any influence on my decision to do this film about Andy, because Andy was apolitical. Andy was never political.

When I came for the first time to the United States, visiting, I was absolutely fascinated by New York.

First of all, to defend my work, I had to believe that I am doing a totally silly, stupid, innocent comedy.

You know what happened, you know, in 1938: France, England, you know, just sold out Czechoslovakia to Hitler.

What I like about masturbation is that you don't have to talk afterwards.
