You either connect or you don't connect. It's not the end of the world. It's a movie.

The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed.

The hardest thing in making a movie is to keep in the front of your consciousness your original response to the material. Because that's going to be the thing that will make the movie. And the loss of that will break the movie.

I'm happy - at times - making films. I'm certainly unhappy not making films.

Suppose by chance you do get picked up. What have you done? You shot a horse; that isn't first degree murder; in fact, it isn't even murder; in fact, I don't know what it is.

I didn't want murder. It's all gone wrong.

Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
