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.

The studios mostly threw away the negatives of the classic films. They had no interest in their legacy.

God knows, as a minority, gay people have taken serious lumps for their sexual preferences. As has every minority.

In the case of a film like The Exorcist or To Live and Die in L.A., I saw the whole movie in my head before I went to shoot it. I never did storyboards, or anything like that. I had the film in my head.

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.

The digital process gives me total control over how I want the film to look. The films look like they did when I was first looking through the viewfinder.
