All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.
The analysis of the thing is not the thing itself.
Speak slowly, Michael. He is an honourable man.
The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.
I grew up watching Westerns.
It was repugnant, but it was the only way to communicate.
I even love the smell of books.
But surrealism is present in most of my pictures.
This I know; the spirit of Man cannot be stopped.
Of course, a movie is in constant flux.
I went to Cuba maybe eight or nine times.
