I do want to say things in these films. I want audiences to come out with shards stuck in them. I don't care if people love my films or walk out, as long as they have a strong response.

I was doing political cartoons and getting angry to the point where I felt I was going to have to start making and throwing bombs. I thought I was probably a better cartoonist than a bomb maker.

I'm more prone to anarchy than I am to control - even though I'm a film director.

I was an incredible Anglophile. I found people who shared the same sense of humor and attitude toward the world.

Hyperbole is something Id better avoid.

Once the voices are in your head, it's either make a movie or kill a lot of people.

Invariably, what I'm trying to do is more ambitious than the budget, but we manage to do it somehow.
