reality thinking dentist
You always think another time would have been ideal for you . . . the reality is there was no novocaine when you went to the dentist.
life-is
Life is for the living.
enthusiasm needs drivers
Enthusiasm is a good engine, but it needs intelligence for a driver.
memories rain sidewalk
I love the rain - it washes memories off the sidewalk of life.
music years play
Psychoanalyses is like music lessons, for 5 years you do not notice any progress and suddenly you can play the piano.
witty humorous ugly
I'm short enough and ugly enough to succeed on my own.
country new-york thinking
Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here.

One of the interesting things is, the most gifted people, the biggest people, have no problem taking small roles.

writing editing democracy
To be a film director is not a democracy, it's really a tyranny. You're the head of the project, for better rather than worse. I write the film and I direct the film, I decide who's going to be in it, I decide on the editing, I put in the music from my own record collection.
mouths over-it laughed
We laughed over it, and Hemingway punched me in the mouth.
