I’d love to sell out completely. It’s just that nobody has been willing to buy.
I could never kill myself. I approve of suicide if you have horrible health. Otherwise it’s the ultimate hissy fit.
I respect everything I make fun of.
I used to joke that I was trying to sell out, and nobody would buy me.
Going to a sensational murder trial is the only way I can relax.
As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don’t have any.
If you can make someone laugh who’s dead set against you, that’s the first step to winning them over to your side.
I didn’t become a drug addict because I always had to make a movie.
Fifty years seems like a good anniversary. Even after I’m dead, how much better could I get than this? I mean, it’s great, I’m not dead, so I get to see it.
I’m for gay marriage. I don’t want to do it, but I certainly think people should be allowed to, and I wouldn’t vote for anybody that would be against it. But at the same time, why do we have to be good now? Why can’t we be villains in movies?
I always wanted to be a juvenile delinquent but my parents wouldn’t let me.
Aren’t maids the ultimate art critics?
The Easter Bunny is a major reason for heroin addiction in America.
Yeah, I know I should be fighting for gay rights, but who wants to join the army or get married anyway?
I have to talk about my movies. I have to give interviews to promote what I’m doing. But no one really knows my personal life. And if you don’t have a personal life I feel bad for you.
My films can be considered political action against the tyranny of good taste.
People always ask me what I’m doing on the subway, but I love it! Sometimes I like to ride in the front car and look out the window at the rats.
Ever feel like killing somebody just to see if you could get away with it? Sure, you have. Everybody has little things that get on their nerves.
Well cult is a word you would never say in Hollywood. In any film business, if you’re trying to get your next film made, you would never say, “Oh, my last film was a cult film.” I’d say, “Oh great, well I hope this one isn’t!”
Watching a movie should be like hunting. Out of context, every image of the cinema is yours for a split second. Take them before they bury it.
