Dogs got personality. Personality goes a long way.
You name any horrific thing, and I can make a joke out of it.
If you want to make a movie, make it. Don’t wait for a grant, don’t wait for the perfect circumstances, just make it.
If you just love movies enough, you can make a good one.
To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.
If a Million People See My Movie, I Hope They See a Million Different Movies.
If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.
I’ve always considered myself a filmmaker who writes stuff for himself to do.
Spaghetti Westerns are really brutal and operatic with a surreal quality to the violence.
Violence is one of the most fun things to watch.
Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I’m lucky enough to be in the position where I don’t make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.
I’m very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I’ve never really considered myself a writer.
I always knew I wanted to do a Western. And trying to think of what that would be, I always figured that if I did a Western, it would have a lot of the aesthetics of Spaghetti Westerns, because I really like them.
I want to have the fun of doing anime and I love anime, but I can’t do storyboards because I can’t really draw and that’s what they live and die on.
To me, Godard did to movies what Bob Dylan did to music: they both revolutionized their forms.
It’s very important that every movie I do makes money because I want the people that had the faith in me to get their money back.
I’m a big collector of vinyl – I have a record room in my house – and I’ve always had a huge soundtrack album collection.
I like it when somebody tells me a story, and I actually really feel that that’s becoming like a lost art in American cinema.
I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can’t ever remember a time when I didn’t.
I couldn’t spell anything. I couldn’t remember anything, but I could go to a movie and I knew who starred in it, who directed it, everything.
