I really tried to make movies I wanted to see. I thought that if I was good enough, somebody would always need me.

I made three movies in 1995 and I was unhappy with all of them: Sleepers, Incognito, and Speed 2.

I think The Exorcist is the best American horror movie ever made. Friedkin was at the top of his game.

I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.

When actors talk about research, they're just patting themselves on the back.

Training Day was such a Hollywood movie; I didn't like it.

Everybody acts like they're in a movie in most movies. That's why they stink.

Pacino's always played the suffering prince. I just find that interesting.

Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.

You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie.
