"I cannot bear to look at a film that I made before 1990. Maybe 1985. There's no sense even trying to explain it. I really just can't watch myself. I see all the machinery at work and it just drives me nuts, so I don't look at anything."

“Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.”

“I've been accused of being aloof. I'm not. I'm just wary.”

“The embarrassing thing is that my salad dressing is out-grossing my films.”
