ugly bitterness
Bitterness is so ugly.
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.
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.
cable dealing drive home people tape time waiting
I like being able to tape things and then having them home waiting for you, but just dealing with the Time Warner Cable people will drive you insane.
experience horrible life teenage time wonderful
I just wanted to do something about the teenage experience; it's such a wonderful and horrible time of life.
hope money remake
I hope they remake 'Look Who's Talking' - then I'd make some money!
wedding
I get offered: 'Here's a girl who's mad at another girl for having a wedding on the same day.' That'll be a big hit, but I don't want to do that.
