I have not been a follower of how many millions my films made or did not make.

There's nothing more interesting than the landscape of the human face.

After 'The Empire Strikes Back,' I got to make big films that I didn't care about, 'Never Say Never Again' and 'RoboCop 2,' and then I got too old.

Film is a window to the real world but a lie that makes you believe the unbelievable.

Nobody can be happy. You could have moments of happiness, moments of joy. But life is very difficult. Unless you're a total idiot. Then you can be happy.

I love my early movies, but naturalism is an artist's early style. Now I want to deal with feelings, dreams, an acceptance of irrationality.

I have not given much credence to reviews of my films. Sometimes they're wrong, but it didn't matter to me.

Did nothing in particular And did it very well.

I judge people based solely on the quality of bands on the black concert t-shirts they wear.

Truth is a necessary phantom.

The singing tells everybody what to do musically.

I quit Wall Street and decided that it was time to talk more about what was going on inside it, as it had changed. It had become far more sinister and far more dangerous.

I have a lot of different stages in my life when training has been easy or hard. Now, it seems that I have been training for so long that it has become almost second nature to me.
