I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theater, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.
(on Hollywood in the 1980s) "We live in a snake pit here...I hate it but I just don`t allow myself to face the fact that I hold it in contempt because it keeps on turning out to be the only place to go."
Movie directing is the perfect refuge for the mediocre.
