I Want My Audiences To Be As

As Far As Writing, I Like Watching Bad Movies. Nothing Stops Me In My Tracks More Than Watching A Great Film Like 'the Godfather' Or 'dog Day Afternoon' Or 'the Graduate.' You Watch One Of Those, And You Never Want To Write Again. Whereas With Bad Movies, It Makes You Think, If That Counts, I Certainly Could Write.

Most People Are Nostalgic In A Way That They're Fond Of The Past, But They Still Are Happy That They Are Where They Are Now. You Know, When You Say, 'oh, High School Was This Or That,' You Don't Want To Go Back. No Matter How Much You Loved High School, You Don't Want To Actually Be Back In High School. I Certainly Wouldn't.

Everyone Wants To Be Loved; Everyone Wants To Know Where They're Going In Life; Everyone Wants To Have A Sense Of Direction And Feel The Next Day Is Going To Be Better Than Today. We Just All Deal With It In A Different Way.

Each One Of My Films Is Personal; Each One Of My Films Is Emotionally Autobiographical. And I Like Directors Who Do That.

I've Been Very, Very Lucky In My Career, In My Life - From Day One. When Aspiring Directors Say, 'what's Your Advice?' First I Say, 'be Born The Son Of A Famous Director. It's Invaluable.'
