A movie takes on its own life, and you have to respect that and be open to it.

Usually the audience has no idea that the censored version of whatever movie they're watching isn't the original.

I've always said that I myself am not the best audience for my own work, because I'm just not that receptive to comedy.

That is definitely a misunderstanding between me and a part of my audience. To be honest, I am often unsettled by the responses some people have had to my movies, and that includes many people who like them.

Some directors hardly talk to the actors at all.

I always have to presume that each movie is my last movie because I never know if I'll get money again.

I love working with actors. I do.
