There's a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven't. You just do the best you can.

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.

Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.

One of my movies was called 'True Lies.' It's what the Democrats should have called their convention.

Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
