To the audience it doesn't really matter how much the director struggled with an actor. It's the result that counts.

I still had some honor... I still have some now.

It's easy to direct while acting - there's one less person to argue with.

I don't know anyone who is not using drugs for the reason that they're illegal.

If I had killed somebody, it wouldn't have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But f-ing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f- young girls. Juries want to f- young girls. Everyone wants to f- young girls!

I never made a film which fully satisfied me.

The best films are because of nobody but the director.
