I don't like movies about serial killers, necessarily; it's too real and unpleasant for me.

Some movies to me are like vampires - they suck all of the energy out of me and I don't like that. I like to give the audience energy if I can.

I realized what interested me as a student of film was one thing and the movies that I liked were another.

You know, I put my little brother in the movies and he's still in the pictures. My mother makes me put him in the pictures.

I think movies lost a lot when they went to stereo and five-track sound.

I think in every picture that I've ever made. Everything that I've done torments me. I really would like another chance except I'd be too embarrassed to ever really try to do them again and no one would want to see the same movie just done differently.
