A big mistake a lot of filmmakers do is they like, "We cut our whole ending to a Rolling Stones song." You better find a new ending then, because unless you have $2 million for that song.

Dreaming be damned, this is control. Raping your soul, devil's hole.

I'm psychotically involved in every tiny little aspect. That's just the way I've been about everything my whole life.

As far as directors, I'm a big fan of any kind of Billy Wilder stuff. Anything he does.

I'm not a big fan of the thought that you can become a star by winning a contest. I'm sort of old-fashioned. I think people need to get out there and they need to work and they need to do their music because they love it. If they become successful, then great, and if they are not, whatever.

Everybody knows that Black Sabbath started everything and almost every single thing that people are playing today has already been done by Black Sabbath. They wrote every single good riff... ever.

Great things come out of being hungry and cold. Once you're pampered, you get lazy.
