There is no sense in making a film that no-one will go and see, just to create a perfect, but useless, work of art.

People talk about making art films - experimental films. I can make an art film every day of the week. Nothing to it. What's difficult is to combine a commercial film with art.

I don't make deals, I make pictures.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
