Like The Man Said, Can Happiness Buy

I'm Happy - At Times - Making Films. I'm Certainly Unhappy Not Making Films.

You Know, I Often Thought That The Gangster And The Artist Are The Same In The Eyes Of The Masses. They're Admired And Hero-worshipped But There Is Always Present Underlying Desire To See Them Destroyed At The Peak Of Their Glory.

Man Isn't A Noble Savage, He's An Ignoble Savage. He Is Irrational, Brutal, Weak, Silly, Unable To Be Objective About Anything Where His Own Interests Are Involved-that About Sums It Up. I'm Interested In The Brutal And Violent Nature Of Man Because It's A True Picture Of Him. And Any Attempt To Create Social Institutions On A False View Of The Nature Of Man Is Probably Doomed To Failure.

How Does Anybody Ever Think Of Anything?

Critical Opinion On My Films Has Always Been Salvaged By What I Would Call Subsequent Critical Opinion.
