I love creating images, of course, because I'm an artist.

I always feel I'm an amateur. I don't most of the time know what I'm doing.

I liked being in the Marines. They gave me discipline I could live with. By the time I got out, I was able to cope with things on a more realistic level.

I really don't like to act. At the beginning, back in '51, I had to force myself to stick with it. I was real uncomfortable, real uncomfortable.

I have difficulty putting words in peoples' mouths. The best dialogue is very, very thin dialogue; you let people improvise and then basically you record what they've improvised and then write it down.

Anything that doesn't make sense, I don't want to give too much of my brain to.

Nobody trusts anyone, or why did they put tilt on a pinball machine.
