If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.

I never enjoyed working in a film.

Everything makes me nervous - except making films.

It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.

A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad.

A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?

Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.

A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake.

A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order.
