The worst thing about movie-making is that it's like life: nobody can go back to correct the mistakes.

When a picture can't make it on its own, the producers pull in a 'controversial' message - the way a couple whose marriage is falling apart decide to have a baby.

In a foreign country people don't expect you to be just like them, but in Los Angeles, which is infiltrating the world, they don't consider that you might be different because they don't recognize any values except their own. And soon there may not be any others.

Moviemaking is so male-dominated now that they think they’re being pro-feminine when they have women punching each other out.

The romance of movies is not just in those stories and those people on the screen but in the adolescent dream of meeting others who feel as you do about what you’ve seen.

Vulgarity is not as destructive to an artist as snobbery.

If there's anything to learn from the history of movies, it's that corruption leads to further corruption, not to innocence.
