Sometimes people say oh you did one of my favorite movies and I will ask them what the other one is and it's always something that I totally hate.

I love movies to death. I spent my entire youth in front of a TV watching old movies and as soon as I was able to get a subway pass when I was 14 I joined the Museum of Modern Art and was there all weekend watching old movies.

Hollywood is the dream factory, and no one dreams about older women.

Babies don't need fathers, but mothers do. Someone who is taking care of a baby needs to be taken care of.

If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. Completely blank.

The disconnect between what's going on in schools and what's allowed to be shown in movies has gotten really bad because girls in junior high are having oral sex and getting bracelets for it, and in movies everybody's got to be 30 years old to have sex. It's very bizarre.

Bitterness is so ugly.

I don't know what goes on behind my back... I always feel like, if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything.

A lot of my movies were completely destroyed by the censors, who can be pretty arbitrary. They're not completely fair with how they treat one person vs. another.

You could go out with a camcorder tomorrow and make a movie with virtually no money, but promoting a tiny low-budget movie costs $20 million. And the money they spend on the big movies is astronomical.
