I haven't had one sexual thought since the court martial.

Sanitised violence in movies has been accepted for years. What seems to upset everybody now is the showing of the consequences of violence.

Everybody has their black moments.

It's crazy how you can get yourself in a mess sometimes and not even be able to think about it with any sense and yet not be able to think about anything else.

I've never achieved spectacular success with a film. My reputation has grown slowly. I suppose you could say that I'm a successful filmmaker-in that a number of people speak well of me. But none of my films have received unanimously positive reviews, and none have done blockbuster business.

When I made my first film, I think the thing was probably helped me the most was that it was such an unusual thing to do in the early 50s for someone who actually go and make a film. People thought it was impossible. It really is terribly easy. All anybody needs is a camera, a tape recorder, and some imagination.

I don't like doing interviews. There is always the problem of being misquoted or, what's even worse, of being quoted exactly.
