writing people stupidity
My films are misinterpreted all the time. I don't mind that. Everybody's films are misinterpreted. But there's no malice or stupidity in the people that misinterpret them. You know what you do, but someone else sees it, and they want to talk about it or write about it, and so they misinterpret them.
religious children stupid
I was raised in a religious home. It was unreasonable enforced religion that turned me off it. It was a joyless, unpleasant, stupid, barbaric thing when I was a child and I've never gotten over that feeling. If you're talking about religion it's one thing; I don't hold Jewish religion with any more seriousness than I would any other.
god stupidity tests
I had an IQ test. The results came back negative.

If you take a frown and turn it upside down, the person you are holding by the ankles will soon pass out.

almost came enjoying enjoyment experience films happens invariably rare rarely saw surprised
I like the film, and that's rare for me to say because I make films and I am almost invariably disappointed. When I saw ('Match Point'), I said, 'My God, it came out.' It surprised me. . . . So I am enjoying the experience because it happens so rarely for me.
both fool occurred occurs treated
It's something that occurs to me many times in my movies. They can often be treated comically or dramatically, and I usually opt to treat them comically. But it occurred to me that you could get a story and you could fool around with it both ways.
funny
I'm going to give my psychoanalyst one more year, then I'm going to Lourdes
advice cast gin improvise learnt
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.
job
If my film makes one more person miserable, I've done my job
gained mistakes
I've gained no insight, no mellowing. I would make the same mistakes again.

Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.
