The Kindest Thing A Director Can Do

I Still Have Energy And Some Degree Of Youth, Which Is What A Filmmaker Needs.

When I'm Introduced As A Two-time Oscar Winner, I'm Happy That A Film Of Mine Has Found An Audience And Some Acclaim Because That Keeps Me In Business. A Filmmaker's Greatest Concern Is The Ability To Make Future Films, So It Helps Keep Me In Business.

I Like To Think Of Film-making Not Just As An Act Of Personal Self-aggrandisement But Rather As An Act Of Public Service.

The Worst Thing For People To Say About Your Movies Is, "yeah, It Was Pretty Good, But It Was Too Damn Long.".

When You're A Houseguest And You Leave, It's Nice To Straighten Something Up Or Send Your Hosts A Useful Gift. And When You Leave The Planet, It's Nice To Have Made A Positive Contribution.
