If You Want To Be A Writer,

I Cast Unusual People In My Movies.

I Guess 'the Player' Was A Pretty Good L.a. Movie. And 'chinatown.' Was There Ever A Better L.a. Movie About A Certain Period In L.a.? That Was Terrific.

Steven Spielberg Seems To Have Wanted To Be A Director From 13. He Put His Dog In A Certain Position And Made Him Eat At Four O'clock. He Liked To Direct It. But, To Me, Directing Is Tedious. Especially If You're Acting In It. And I'm Inherently Lazy.

When I Went To Acting School, The Kids That Got The Best Grades Were The Kids That Could Cry On Cue. But It Didn't Really Translate Into Careers For Any Of Them, Because The External Is The Easy Part.

What Do You Think The Devil Is Going To Look Like If He's Around? Nobody Is Going To Be Taken In If He Has A Long, Red, Pointy Tail. No. I'm Semi-serious Here. He Will Look Attractive And He Will Be Nice And Helpful And He Will Get A Job Where He Influences A Great God-fearing Nation And He Will Never Do An Evil Thing... He Will Just Bit By Little Bit Lower Standards Where They Are Important. Just Coax Along Flash Over Substance... Just A Tiny Bit. And He Will Talk About All Of Us Really Being Salesmen. And He'll Get All The Great Women.
