Am I my brother's keeper? Yes. Interestingly, in my case, I share that honor with the Prospect Park Zoo.
witty brother crazy
This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, Doc, my brother’s crazy. He thinks he’s a chicken. The doctor says, Well, why don’t you turn him in? And the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. Well I guess that’s pretty much how I feel about relationships. You know they’re totally irrational and crazy and absurd but I guess we keep going through it because, uh, most of us need the eggs.
brother symphony giving
Life is horrible, but it is not relentlessly black from wire to wire. You can sit down and hear a Mozart symphony, or you can watch the Marx Brothers, and this will give you a pleasant escape for a while. And that is about the best that you can do.

I let the cast improvise a lot, especially with the slang, where they would say 'g and t' for gin and tonic. I wouldn't say that. I would say 'dicey' when they would say 'dodgy.' I learnt a lot.

If my film makes one more person miserable, I've done my job

I've gained no insight, no mellowing. I would make the same mistakes again.
american-director
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
damn experience far good love sex
Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.

Everytime I hear Wagner I feel like invading Poland.
