If people are worried about the size of their trailers, I kind of say their priorities are off.

It's very clearly stated in the film: You make your own choices, and what you're always fighting is ego.

But the process of making a film is not glamorous. Certainly not my films.

Show business is one of those things that people can use to get themselves out of the lower rung of society.

I'm not in front of the camera, they are. I encourage them; I build up as much of their confidence and ego as possible. They've got to take control; I can't act it out.

We all get paid very, very well, and we have responsibilities.

Look at Walter Huston in The Devil and Daniel Webster: It's an incredible performance.
