Tarkovsky For Me Is The Greatest [director],

I Know That I Shall Have Lost To The Jungle If I Take A Weak Moral Standpoint Or Relax My Mental Punctiliousness. I Have Therefore Come To A Certain Belief Which Is Based On Three Powerful Effective Commandments: Thou Shalt Be Entertaining At All Times. Thou Shalt Obey Thy Artistic Conscience At All Times. Thou Shalt Make Each Film As If It Were Thy Last.

I Have Always Had The Ability To Attach My Demons To My Chariot.

Among Today's Directors I'm Of Course Impressed By Steven Spielberg And Scorsese, And Coppola, Even If He Seems To Have Ceased Making Films, And Steven Soderbergh - They All Have Something To Say, They're Passionate, They Have An Idealistic Attitude To The Filmmaking Process. Soderbergh's Traffic Is Amazing. Another Great Couple Of Examples Of The Strength Of American Cinema Is American Beauty And Magnolia.

I'd Prostitute My Talents If It Would Further My Cause, Steal If There Was No Way Out, Killing My Friends Or Anyone Else If It Would Help My Art.

My Basic View Of Things Is - Not To Have Any Basic View Of Things. From Having Been Exceedingly Dogmatic, My Views On Life Have Gradually Dissolved. They Don't Exist Any Longer.
