If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.

I am two with nature.

Take the money and run.

As I got more confident, I was able to let actors improvise, and do long takes. It's 10%, 5% you learn and experience. The rest you just have or you don't have.

I would never wanna belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member.

I can't with any conscience argue for New York with anyone. It's like Calcutta. But I love the city in an emotional, irrational way, like loving your mother or your father even though they're a drunk or a thief. I've loved the city my whole life - to me, it's like a great woman.

One man starving puts a crimp in my evening.
