hate people sometimes
Sometimes people say oh you did one of my favorite movies and I will ask them what the other one is and it's always something that I totally hate.
ugly bitterness
Bitterness is so ugly.
movie-love tvs youth
I love movies to death. I spent my entire youth in front of a TV watching old movies.
looks magazines blank
If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. Completely blank.
arbitrary treats persons
A lot of my movies were completely destroyed by the censors, who can be pretty arbitrary. They're not completely fair with how they treat one person vs. another.
say-anything goes-on behind-my-back
I don't know what goes on behind my back... I always feel like, if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything.
girl sex school
The disconnect between what's going on in schools and what's allowed to be shown in movies has gotten really bad because girls in junior high are having oral sex and getting bracelets for it, and in movies everybody's got to be 30 years old to have sex. It's very bizarre.
cost tiny tomorrow
You could go out with a camcorder tomorrow and make a movie with virtually no money, but promoting a tiny low-budget movie costs $20 million. And the money they spend on the big movies is astronomical.
dream hollywood factories
Hollywood is the dream factory, and no one dreams about older women.
mother baby father
Babies don't need fathers, but mothers do. Someone who is taking care of a baby needs to be taken care of.
maybe though
I know I mispronounce things constantly, because maybe I read more than I talk, but I don't know the proper way to say a lot of things, even though I know what they are. But then I know I look like a moron.
hear life people
Everything you try to do in life, of any value, people are going to be saying, 'No, no, no.' You have to have the ability to not see that or hear that.
change newest people waiting
When new things come along, some people always want the newest of the new - 'This is what I've been waiting for!' - and some people don't want or need the change - 'I like my old one.'
With electronics, they just get smaller and smaller.
