I've never understood the cult of Hitchcock. Particularly the late American movies... Egotism and laziness. And they're all lit like television shows.

Television shows and movies that are all white, I can't watch them. They totally alienate me.

We need Hollywood to make movies and television shows about sexy female engineers.

Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.

Keep Ted Turner and his goddamned Crayolas away from my movies

I think everyone who makes movies should be forced to do television. Because you have to finish. You have to get it done, and there are a lot of decisions made just for the sake of making decisions. You do something because it's efficient and because it gets the story told and it connects to the audience.
