I get emotionally attached with every film I do, and that stops me from being critical. I can't fight my emotions.

I don't watch my movies. I just get too critical of myself.

I've really grown to love film, but I think occasionally you need to get up on a stage and see what's going on.

I'm extremely particular how my look should be in a film.

Film is my big problem. I am involved too much. I love too much. I've been trying to resolve it for 35 years now, but for now, I have to keep making them.

When my films don't do well, I'm hurt and surprised. It's discouraging.

I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.

I'm more likely to lose my temper on a film set than almost anywhere. Often the level of idiocy is so exalted that it's impossible to comprehend.

If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.

When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.
