Well, it's funny because, "The Green Leaves of Summer" and "The Alamo" theme are the same thing. There's just - the Brothers Four was a different recording of it.

I mean, of course "King Kong" is a metaphor for the slave trade. I'm not saying the makers of "King Kong" meant it to be that way, but that's what, that's the movie that they made - whether they meant to make it or not.

I've always equated the writing process with editing, sort of like when I get through editing the movie, that's like my last draft of the screenplay.

I definitely have some colleagues that I respect, and we get together from time to time. But I actually have just like genuine friends. Paul Thomas Anderson is a genuine friend. Robert Rodriguez is a genuine friend. Rick Richard Linklater is a genuine friend. Eli Roth is a genuine friend. And so is Edgar Wright.

It's very important that every movie I do makes money because I want the people that had the faith in me to get their money back.

To me, Godard did to movies what Bob Dylan did to music: they both revolutionized their forms.

If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.
