I was lost, and that war [in Vietnam] was very alienating - not that I was against it or for it, but I was just lost after that war. As were many Americans.

I do believe that movies are subject to a million interpretations.

Christianity did take a lot of Greek concepts.

There is this thing about time that you can't see at the time you're at.

I've met people who will go to a movie that I can't stand and they say that they saw that movie ten times. There's something they like and identified in that movie, and I don't see it.

I think you should do rehearsal and work at it, but when the camera rolls, you should be ready. Try to make it good the first time.

I can see a movie and believe the story and characterization and stay proud of it. It doesn't change. Even if it's unappreciated, that doesn't mean it can't be appreciated in the future.
