I don't believe in depression. There's no such thing. It's an invention. It's bullshit, it's a cop out.

I loved Cookie [Mueller]. She was a much better writer than actress. She shouldn't have stuck with me in the beginning she should have immediately become a writer. She would have had more of a chance.

I always want to see films that are startling and amazing. Not just shocking. Shocking is easy to do. But startling in the way that makes you change how you think about things. Those are the movies I like the best.

I care about the presidential elections. I always vote. Sometimes I've voted more than once, illegally. But you can't anymore. The picture ID has ruined everything.

You have to remember the police used to raid and arrest the audience for seeing Scorpio Rising (1964), or Jack Smith movies. Wouldn't that be exciting today, if you see went to the movie and everyone at the IFC was arrested in a paddy wagon and taken away?

Well cult is a word you would never say in Hollywood. In any film business, if you're trying to get your next film made, you would never say, Oh, my last film was a cult film. I'd say, Oh great, well I hope this one isn't!

I've had it with being nice, understanding, fair and hopeful. I feel like being negative all day. The chip on my shoulder could sink the QE2. I've got an attitude problem and nobody better get in my way...I'm in a bad mood and the whole stupid little world is gonna pay!
