Every Single Art Form Is Involved In

My Films Ought To Be Judged On Whether They're Entertaining Or Good As Films, But Not On The Political View Necessarily. I'm Trying To Be Morally Responsible And No More. I Don't Have An Agenda I'm Trying To Push.

I Make Films, And I Hope That People Come To See Them. If They Don't, I Pay A Big Price. But I Can't Make Decisions Where I Would Change My Own Standards Or My Own Taste In Order To Court The Public In Some Way.

Three Days Of The Condor Is Still An Interesting Film To Watch Not Because It's Political. It Happens To Be Political. But That's Not Why The Sales Of The Dvds Are As High As They Are. It's Because It's An Entertaining Thriller. In My Opinion, Tootsie Is A Very Political Movie But Truck Drivers Can Go And Laugh At It.

I See My Job As Trying To Entertain You, To Be Balanced In Some Way, And Morally Responsible. I Don't Want To Glorify A Killer. I Don't Want To Glorify A Rapist. I Don't Want To Do Those Things, But On The Other Hand I Don't Want To Lecture To You, Either.

You Mustn't Regret Decisions That You Make. Because The Decisions Are Made Out Of Your Gut In A Way And You Have To Stick With Them.
