For my money, the movies of the '70s were just amazing.

I don't know what goes on behind my back... I always feel like, if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything.

I love movies to death. I spent my entire youth in front of a TV watching old movies.

I've always tried to figure out what people think of themselves and what they think they're projecting.
dictated freedom hot instead love people respect studio using
In one respect, I like the freedom of using all the people that I love instead of being dictated by the studio to use the hot person of the moment.

The way things have changed. The pictures in the womb they have now. They're just amazing. They're just like a snapshot of a person.
