Frankly, I got into the movies because I like the movies a lot.
I didn't see a ton of movies growing up.
I have written movies that won prizes at Cannes and Venice.
I make movies for teenage boys. Oh dear, what a crime.
If your movies don't perform, they just stop calling you.
I'm so picky. People hate going to the movies with me.
This is really showing me what certain movies mean to people.
One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that.
The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.
I mean, I didn't have a huge upbringing with movies, I guess.
There's nothing more important in making movies than the screenplay.
But it's mostly about pacing yourself when you do these movies.
I make more movies than I see.
So, you need to balance it out with bigger and smaller movies.
I learned a lot about morality from fiction, from movies.
I'm kind of like the goofy number-seven guy in a lot of movies.
Go see it and see for yourself why you shouldn't go see it.
I've been in the movies for 50 years, I've made 130 some-odd movies.
It's just as hard... staying happily married as it is doing movies.
No one pays me to be nice.
It's unfortunate we've never been just songwriters.
