For me, the greatest pleasure is when you make something, and everyone argues about it.
The most creative phase of a film is in shooting, because structure is the defining element of that phase.
I love to look at beauty.
I'm a huge admirer of Keanu. I think he's absolutely extraordinary.
My writing has always been more out of the need to write a movie rather than me being a good writer.
I think 'Videodrome' was an absolute philosophical masterpiece.
Television is dead. And television will not be reborn. It will not come back.
I always approach every film I make as if it was going to be the last. So if I'm going to go out, I'm going out with a bang.
Oh, I love L.A. It's not so much about Hollywood. I love everything in L.A.
As long as your movies don't lose money, you'll always be able to make them.
I'm dyslexic, which means I have trouble reading and writing. So images really speak to me.
Writing is fantasizing about what your film will be like. Shooting is reality. And the post-production is recovering the idea you had.
A good director is not an expert in anything in particular. A good director just knows a little bit about everything.
The first thing I do when I go to people's houses is look at their television, turn it on.
I wanted to be famous. I guess I thought acting would make me famous.
I think the Internet is the greatest invention since women.
I'm not a guy's guy. I always loved girl things. I loved dolls. I loved dressing up and much more.
I think that every man has a 16-year-old girl inside of him.
I'm not a political filmmaker.
I started making films purely based on what I would like to see.
'Bronson' was like, 'I'll do a movie about my own life.' And it became like an experiment.
Whenever I make a movie, I always try to figure out what kind of music it would be.
I believe silence is the greatest sound of all.
I'm not the greatest filmmaker. There are a lot of better filmmakers than me.
I've always felt that I was from the future because the future is really not about what you make but what you stand for.
My world is just one big chaos!
