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

I like my song-sequences in my movies, but one of the things I like about them, is I get in and I get out.

I won't even think about acting in a role where I didn't do a back story for a character.

When I'm writing, it's about the page. It's not about the movie. It's not about cinema. It's about the literature of me putting my pen to paper and writing a good page and making it work completely as a document unto itself. That's my first artistic contribution. If I do my job right, by the end of the script, I should be having the thought, 'You know, if I were to just publish this now and not make it . . . I'm done.

The other thing is even the Jews in the course - even though metaphorically aligning themselves with Indians, and, you know, you have genocide aligning itself with another genocide.

I am doing what I'm doing, and if you don't like it, don't go see it.

I don't judge my characters, and that's my job not to judge them. It's my job to treat them with respect and to just look at it from their point of view.
