I Live A Bourgeois Life.

Some Of My Favorite Scenes Aren't In The Movie. Because You, At Some Point, Realize That Your Responsibility As Director Is Purely To The Story. It's Not To Your Pleasure.

Even If My Movies Weren't Big Blockbusters, Directors Generally Liked Me, So They Would Fight For Me.

There's A Level Of Trust That You Have To Have With Somebody.

Artists Have Always Been The Front Line; That's Part Of Our Responsibility. But A Lot Of The Big Actors Come Out, They Get Slammed, And Then They Retreat.

The Working-class Folks And The Poor, And Those Normal People Living Their Lives Out In The World Without The Glitter And The Fanfare. There Is A Lot To Learn From Them.
