I'm The Barbarian Of Hollywood.

You Know, I Find It Very Strange When Movies That I Made That Were Just Excoriated - I Mean That I Was Just Vilified For - Are Now Looked At As Classics.

Films Are Always Pretentious. There's Nothing More Pretentious Than A Filmmaker.

A Lot Of People Thought Of Me As A Threat To Western Civilization.

I Suppose When I Started Out I Would Have Liked To Have Been The Darling Of Critics Or Something, But Everybody Wants To Be Loved And Admired.

I Also Thought Of Myself As The Sonny Barger Of The Film Industry.
