I did not marry the first girl that I fell in love with, because there was a tremendous religious conflict, at the time. She was an atheist, and I was an agnostic.

All the crap they tell you about... getting joy and having a kind of wisdom in your golden years - it's all tripe.

My films are misinterpreted all the time. I don't mind that. Everybody's films are misinterpreted. But there's no malice or stupidity in the people that misinterpret them.

God is either cruel or incompetent.
