Don't get obsessed with not liking a movie.

The feel of the experience is the important thing, not the ability to verbalize or analyze it.

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.

The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning.

Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write 'War and Peace' in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right, there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling.

It's impossible to tell you what I'm going to do except to say that I expect to make the best movie ever made.

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