A few years ago, I decided I wanted to be home with my family.

Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

Well, whether it's on film or on TV, you don't want to throw too many curves at your audio and video guys.

I don't limit my taste. There's some jazz that I like and there's some opera. I've been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock.

I think that I recall the nostalgic '50s: the start of early television and rock-and-roll, and I think everything seemed to get very generic. Not much has changed.

I always find it flattering when somebody recognizes me.

I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97.

On the last couple of movies I made - big-budget Hollywood movies - I really missed being able to create my own material.

Its just I fell into a bunch of movies that kind of fit in my life. It made sense to do them in the 80s. Folks who know me think its hilarious.

In order for the light of gratitude and happiness to shine so brightly, the darkness of how it could be worse must be present.

To be able to look life in the face: that's worth living in a garret for, isn't it?

I don't think that my films are 'literary'; they are based on the most ordinary things of life.

Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood.

My occupation is assistant storyteller. It is not "icon."

Because everyone knows liberals have never been wrong about anything. You can ask them. Anytime.

Smash the control images. Smash the control machine.
