I've Always Had Trouble With Authority.

Egotism Is Not A Good Quality. It's Not Something To Be Admired Or Even Tolerated. It Wouldn't Be Tolerated In A Field Commander And It Shouldn't Be Tolerated In A Movie Director.

Films Are Always Pretentious. There's Nothing More Pretentious Than A Filmmaker.

A Lot Of Directors Don't Know What They Want To Do. Every Director I've Seen That Was A Good Director That I've Admired Knew Exactly What He Wanted To Do. They Didn't Sit There And Think About It.

I May Not Be The Strongest Guy Or The Most Well Armed, But You Can Put Me In A Room With A Pencil And A Piece Of Paper And I Can Kill Anybody.

No, You're Either Born A Writer, A Storyteller, Or You're Not.
