There Are No Rules In Filmmaking

Friend, You Are A Divine Mingle-mangle Of Guts And Stardust. So Hang In There! If Doors Opened For Me, They Can Open For Anyone.

Making Money, Getting Yourself Status In This World Is Not Everything At All. But It Has Become Everything In America. That You Really Have To Get Going And Keep Up With The Jones'. Get A House And A Car And Other Things. And Pretty Soon You're Stymied. Things Own You.

Whenever A Situation Develops To Its Extreme, It Is Bound To Turn Around And Become Its Opposite.

My Advice To Young Filmmakers Is This: Don't Follow Trends. Start Them!

I Was The Enemy Of The Major Studio. I Believed In One Man - One Film. I Believed One Man Should Make The Film. And I Believed The Director Should Be That One Man. One Man Should Do It - I Didn't Give A Damn Who. I Just Couldn't Accept Art As A Committee. I Could Only Accept Art As An Extension Of An Individual.
