I Never Expect Anything. I Am Always Amazed At Why Anybody Goes To Any Movie Or Why Anybody Doesn't Go To Any Movie. Any Movie You Make, You Make It Because You're Hoping Somebody Wants To See It, But You Never Know.

After Directing Awhile, You Get An Instinct About It, But You Have To Be Able To Trust Your Own Feelings. Invariably, Two-thirds Of The Way Through A Film, You Say, "jeezus, Is This A Pile Of Crap! What Did I Ever See In It In The First Place?" You Have To Shut Off Your Brain And Forge Ahead, Because By That Time You're Getting So Brainwashed. Once I Commit Myself To A Film I Commit Myself To That Ending, Whatever The Motivations And Conclusions Are.

You Always Want To Quit While You Are Ahead. You Don't Want To Be Like A Fighter Who Stays Too Long In The Ring Until You're Not Performing At Your Best.

I Don't Have Any Great Pickup Lines. I Was Never An Extrovert, So I Always Had To Have Someone Meet Me Halfway. If She Was Interested, We'd Come Together, And If Not ... When I Became A Movie Actor And Became Well-known, It Took Care Of Itself. Maybe That's Why I Became An Actor.

In America, Instead Of Making The Audience Come To The Film, The Idea Seems To Be For You To Go To The Audience. They Come Up With The Demographics For The Film And Then The Film Is Made And Sold Strictly To That Audience.
