As far as art and filmmaking is concerned, I don't see there's any separation; it's just one continuous thing.

Ill never be as good an actor as I want to be....but I'll be good.

Sometimes you have to bend with the breeze or you break.

I worked hard, and if you work hard you get the goodies.

I've got a feeling I'm leaving stardom behind, you know. I'm gradually becoming more of a filmmaker, acquiring a different kind of dignity from that which you achieve in acting. After all, I'm no matinee idol, and I'm getting older. I don't think I can be doing my kind of thing in the seventies; I want to be on more of the creative side of business.

I believe in me. I'm a little screwed up, but I'm beautiful.

The person is being confrontational.
