There are movies where we are interested in seeing people's lives without agreeing with what they're doing.

With a movie you're creating from the beginning this particular work, let's not call it work of art, because very few movies are works of art, let's just call them bits of popular culture, whatever they are, sometimes very rarely by accident a movie becomes a work of art.

I want people to go to the movies. I am the man of the spectacle. I'm playing.

Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.

It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.

Tarantino's movies, I really enjoy, certainly, and when I was 19 and 20, I was really into them.

A lot of producers cookie cut movies one after another, but I'll be a little more careful, and have the opportunity to be, because I have the acting career to subsidize the producing.
