A Feature Film Is Twenty-four Lies Per

It's Unbearable When Someone Changes Around You. Just Imagine That Your Life Partner Changes, Then It Is Difficult To Cope With. Or Your Mother. Or Your Father. They Were Strong And Now They're Like A Baby - It's Not So Funny.

Personally, I Can't Stand Violence. In Any Standard American Mainstream Movie, There's 20 Times More Violence Than In Any One Of My Films, So I Don't Know Why Those Directors Aren't Asked Why They're Such Specialists For Violence.

I've Never Let Producers Tell Me What To Do. Even When I Was Making Television, I Always Did What I Wanted To Do, And If I Couldn't, I Didn't Do It. It Was A Freedom That, These Days, Young Directors Starting Out Don't Have.
