When I did 'Bird,' it was a surprise to some people, first because I wasn't in it and second because most of the films I'd been doing were cop movies or westerns or adventure films, so to be doing one about Charlie Parker, who was a great influence on American music, was a great thrill for me.
The main thing is to do each project the way you want, and if they find an audience, that's terrific. And if they don't, there's nothing you can do anyway, so don't let it concern you that much. An awful lot of good movies have done badly and an awful lot of bad movies have done very well. There are no real rhymes or reasons for it. Sometimes the stars don't always align right. But if you've done the best you can, you feel pretty good about it.
I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
I guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.
I'm a movie maker, but I have the same feelings as the average guy out there.
An awful lot of good movies have gone unrecognized, and an awful lot of bad movies have had tremendous recognition. As long as you keep that in mind, you are never really disappointed.
You are always hoping that movie audiences are interested in characters and interested in story values rather than just mindless special effects. But you never know.
I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.
This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.
I know what you're thinking 'Did he fire six shots or only five?
There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.
Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have messed with? That's me.
Dying ain't much of a living, boy
I like Italian movies. I was frequently there in the '60s, in Rome and the vicinity. It was a great period in life. I was very influenced by their stuff.
