If there is one thing that, as a director, you don't want to be a part of, it's a group. It's the same thing with music. I don't want to be a part of a scene. Just leave me alone. It's just my nature, and it's nothing against the people that are in that group, but I just like to be left alone.

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

Things like that become a blur - shot at some soundstage, somewhere - that's as much as I can remember.

Every time I make a movie I have too many characters and too many locations.

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

I think if you're going to remake a film it should be something that was a good idea, but wasn't executed well. There isn't anything I would like to remake. I have too many of my own ideas I want to make.

I really just do what I like. I don't understand what the general public likes sometimes.
