It's All Just One Film To Me.

I Never Knew What I Wanted, Except That It Was Something I Hadn't Seen Before.

All Of My Films Deal With The Same Thing: Striving, Socially And Culturally, To Stay Alive.

You Will Never See'altman's Great Film Of The Seventies: The Director's Cut' Because You Have Never Seen A Film Of Mine That Wasn't The Director's Cut. I Have Never Permitted It.

I Make No Apologies For Popeye. Behind M*a*s*h, It's My Biggest Hit. It Got Maligned By The Critics Because It Wasn't Superman. It Wasn't About Special Effects And It Wasn't Made For 14-year-old Boys. The Majority Of Films Are Made For 14-year-old Boys; I Don't Know Where They Get The Eight Bucks To Get In. It's Hush Money From The Parents.

If You Have A Child Who Is Seven Feet Tall, You Don't Cut Off His Head Or His Legs. You Buy Him A Bigger Bed And Hope He Plays Basketball.
