Somebody's gotta stand up and say pubic hair is good, murder is bad. Sex is good, violence is bad.

So much of the violence in the movies is b.s. violence: A guy in the middle of a large city with 14 people lying on the ground that he's just killed with his superhuman powers, and there's not a cop to be found. Not a siren to be heard. No price to be paid. That's not true, and I don't like that sort of stuff.

It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.

I feel like a lot of the young actors that are just coming up are really good. I think directors are directing better.

Another mistake a director can make is not to be prepared, so you get there on the day to shoot the scene, and they don't know how it should be blocked, and they're not clear on how they want to do a scene.

Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.

There are some older women out there who are just knockouts, real beauties, and they're not getting the roles they should.
