If there is something magic about the collaborations I have with actors it's because I put the character first.

I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.

I loved the idea of the fact that the way, like I said, they colored outside of the lines. You know, there was rules that they didn't have to follow. And you got -you got - you could get more of a sensational thrill, all right, with some of these exploitation movies or art films, or you could get something you wouldn't see at the normal cineplex.

There are a lot of bad screenplays so if you write a good screenplay people are going to respond to it.

But the truth of the matter is, that was fairly, fairly early on in Goebbels' 800 movies that he made in Germany. The majority of them, especially once the war got going, you hardly saw Nazi officers in it at all. They were mostly musicals and comedies and melodramas and stories of great German men from the past.
