"When you're at the end of your rope, all you have to do is make one foot move out in front of the other. Just take the next step. That's all there is to it"
"A film is like a battleground. It's love, hate, action, violence, death—In one word, emotions."
"If a story doesn't give you a hard-on in the first couple of scenes, throw it in the goddamned garbage."
"You know how you smoke out a sniper? You send a guy out in the open, and you see if he gets shot. They thought that one up at West Point"
"Ninety-five per cent of films are born of frustration, of self despair, of ambition for survival, for money, for fattening bank accounts. Five per cent, maybe less, are made because a man has an idea, an idea which he must express."
