Quotes

• “I don't make social statements in my pictures [...] though I do feel a film should be about something—that it have a raison d'etre. It should not shy away from social problems.”
• “[On why he was not making a theatrical feature film for the studios] They'd say these films were too wordy, too cerebral, too much dialogue [...] They often want films with a minimum of dialogue and lots of action and limited adult themes to sell abroad.”
• “[On why he was liking directing a television film] They leave you alone; there's no interference, no second guessing.”
• “So many aspects of our life have disappeared from movie screens [...] And they're now appearing on cable.”
• “[On John Wayne] The drunker he got the more he wanted to punch me out.”
• “For me, films are about ideas [...] Every director should ask himself, 'Why am I making this picture?' And if you can't answer that, you shouldn't make it.”
