Why Should I Keep Doing Things That

I Have Never Made A Movie That's Attracted A 14-year-old Boy.

We Make Too Much Of The Good And Too Much Of The Bad.

I Make No Apologies For Popeye. Behind M*a*s*h, It's My Biggest Hit. It Got Maligned By The Critics Because It Wasn't Superman. It Wasn't About Special Effects And It Wasn't Made For 14-year-old Boys. The Majority Of Films Are Made For 14-year-old Boys; I Don't Know Where They Get The Eight Bucks To Get In. It's Hush Money From The Parents.

If Something Works For You, You Continue To Do It. I Did A Bunch Of Pictures For 20th Century Fox When Alan Ladd Was Over There, But I Set The Budgets So Low That They'd Approve And I'd Deliver The Film. They Would Have No Say In It, Which Is The Kind Of Arrangement I Liked.

I Insist That They Do What They Became Actors To Do. I Want Them To Create Something And Not Just Hit Marks And Say Words. So They All Love That Because They're Playing. It's Called Playacting. Their Contributions Are Not Only Welcomed, But Are Accepted And Used.
