I love the process of making films and an incidental satisfaction is the fact that most of them made money.

You can make a movie about anything, as long as it has a hook to hang the advertising on.

Motion pictures are the art form of the 20th century, and one of the reasons is the fact that films are a slightly corrupted artform. They fit this century - they combine Art and business!

When I started in the late 1950s, every film I made - no matter how low the budget - got a theatrical release. Today, less that 20-percent of our films get a theatrical release.

In order to create art today, you have to compromise your art somewhat and be a businessman.

I've never made the film I wanted to make. No matter what happens, it never turns out exactly as I hoped.

In science-fiction films the monster should always be bigger than the leading lady.

One of the worst things you can do is have a limited budget and try to do some big looking film. That's when you end up with very bad work.

I do believe motion pictures are the significant art form of our time. And I think the main reason is, they're an art form of movement, as opposed to static art forms of previous times.

People gravitate occasionally to the brilliantly made art low budget films, which is maybe one out of every five hundred low budget films made.

Horror films have been with us forever, so you can't say I originated that in any way, but it sort of brought back a classical way to make a horror film.

Building a better world requires re-humanising the whole world .It is the only practical way.

To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

Sometimes in your life, you will get to the point where you are not even trying or worthy even taking a step a head of you, but you will have to go to the next step without thinking more.

A man is made in the rough-and-tumble of the world a lady emerges from the flossy back rooms of her own imagination.

He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher... or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.

I think the media is among the most dishonest groups of people I've ever met.

I always went to see independent films, they're the movies I'm usually most excited to see.

The wise speak only of what they know

How can women be in the image of God if God cannot be imaged in female form?

No society can function as a society, unless it gives the individual member social status and function, and unless the decisive social power is legitimate.
