I like being a patron of things, I like patronizing things. And if it's not going to be people, I'll patronize a festival.

I've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.

Whatever I do might be good, it might be bad, it might be all sorts of things, but it's not mediocre.

Hyperbole is something Id better avoid.

It's hard for me to worry about the studios losing money. I'm not very sympathetic to their money problems, because they certainly haven't been sympathetic to mine.

Reality and fantasy, we need both of those to survive. If we don't have fantasy, dreams and all of those things, what's the point of carrying on? And you need to watch out for reality because buses come.

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