"A director must be a policeman, a midwife, a psychoanalyst, a sycophant and a bastard."
"My Aunt Minnie would always be punctual and never hold up production, but who would pay to see my Aunt Minnie?"
"Film’s thought of as a director’s medium because the director creates the end product that appears on the screen. It’s that stupid auteur theory again, that the director is the author of the film. But what does the director shoot-the telephone book? Writers became much more important when sound came in, but they’ve had to put up a valiant fight to get the credit they deserve."
"If you're going to tell people the truth, be funny or they'll kill you."
"I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons."
