I don't go to the movies much anymore. There's very little that draws me. I watch mostly the older stuff, and I often don't sit through the new films.

I have seen lampoons of my work. And I have really enjoyed them. But I would never do another version of The Exorcist.

I can't sit through the superhero films. But I watched Draft Day, and it was kind of sweet in an old-fashioned way.

I don't think sexuality defines a person. It's one small part of who you are, in my view. You are many things, and I never felt that people were defined by their sexuality solely.

I have to see the whole scene in my head before I go out and do it. Which I do. I will envision the entire scene before I shoot it.

You don't leave the film alone. You have a new audience, and you have a new medium. Why would you leave it alone? Film is not an antique. It's not a relic. It's not a Leonardo da Vinci. I don't want someone painting over a da Vinci or Rembrandt. But these movies aren't that.

There are films that I've made that I like a little bit more than the others. But the films that I mostly watch, and see over and over again, are not my own.
