thinking years get-better
I think I've gotten technically better over the years but you'd have to be a fool not to. I've made so many movies that by sheer quantity you get better at the technique.
inspirational funny death
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.
years careers able
I can make films. And some of them come out good, and some of them come out better, and some of them come out worse. But I've been very lucky over the years to be able to sustain the length of career that I've had.
thinking style kind
I don't think my film style has changed. I'm doing the same kind of jokes I did when I was younger.
witty food oysters
I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick. Not wounded. Dead.
funny drama humor
Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.
funny beautiful sex
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.
fun writing thinking
I'll work by myself for years and then I'll think it'll be fun to et one of my friends like Marshall Brickman or Doug McGrath into a room and not be alone for the writing of the thing; to have the pleasure of taking walks and get lunch together; its sort of a fun process and then I do it and then I get back on my own for a while until I feel the need to do it again.
tradition illusion
Tradition is the illusion of permanance.
funny sarcastic witty
In California, they don't throw their garbage away - they make it into TV shows.
witty new-york humorous
I’m going to kill myself. I should go to Paris and jump off the Eiffel Tower. I’ll be dead. you know, in fact, if I get the Concorde, I could be dead three hours earlier, which would be perfect. Or wait a minute. It -- with the time change, I could be alive for six hours in New York but dead three hours in Paris. I could get things done, and I could also be dead.
thinking years age
I think Hollywood has gone in a disastrous path. It's terrible. The years of cinema that were great were the '30s, '40s, not so much the '50s...but then the foreign films took over and it was a great age of cinema as American directors were influenced by them and that fueled the '50s and '60s and '70s.
fitness-motivational showing-up life-is
Ninety percent of life is just showing up.
witty hate humorous
I hate reality but it's still the best place to get a good steak.
