Those who can't do, teach!

I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.

When I naturally write a story and I feel that the guy is sitting across the table from the girl and flirting with her... I think, 'God, that can't be me' because I'm just too old for that part. You need a 30-year-old or a 35-year-old for that part. And so I've given myself less and less roles.

My films are a form of psychoanalysis, except that it is I who am paid, which changes everything.

I call that mind free which jealously guards its intellectual rights and powers, which calls no man master, which does not content itself with a passive or hereditary faith, [and] receives new truth as an angel from Heaven.

Can you believe that? She says I'm not leader enough for her. Who was she looking for... Hitler?

I loathed every day and regret every day I spent in school. I like to be taught to read and write and add and then be left alone.
