I have made 70 or so films. In all my films not a single actor, a single extra, was hurt. Not one. So statistics are on my side when I say I'm clinically sane.

I think a state should not be in the capacity of killing anyone with the exception of warfare.

I am someone who takes everything very literally. I simply do not understand irony, a defect I have had ever since I was able to think independently.

I prefer to be alive, so I'm cautious about taking risks.

If I had to climb into hell and wrestle the devil himself for one of my films, I would do it.

I wouldn't make a connection between the daily news and volcanoes.

I don't want to travel.
