stuff awful taste
This stuff tastes awful; I could have made a fortune selling it in my health-food store.
hazards film sometimes
Sometimes the critics will like a film, and the public doesn't come. Sometimes the critics won't like the film, and the public will come. It's completely spontaneous. It's a hazard.
dying immortality achieve
I prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.
new-york children father
I feel about New York as a child whose father is a bank robber. Not perfect, but I still love him.
idols childhood sunrise
Music has always helped my films. In 'The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion,' you can hear 'Sunrise' by Glenn Miller, an idol of my childhood, in the surprise ending. I like mixing comedy with suspense and action.
thoughtful people tabloids
I've always believed that thoughtful people don't really take the tabloids seriously. They're basically a form of entertainment. I enjoy them as much as the next New Yorker.
two wife luck
I've had bad luck in my two previous marriages. The first wife left me, and the second did not.
democracy shut-up dictatorship
The dictatorship is shut up, democracy is always concerned.
years toilets sake
For God sakes, this is a woman I was married to for 10 years. We made love. I'd hold her head over the toilet bowl when she threw up.
film audience has-beens
My relationship with American audiences is the exact same as it always has been. They never came to see my films, and they don't come now.
new-york men cinema
When I was a young man, my friends and I and all of us in New York were very influenced by French cinema. French cinema played an enormous influence on those of us who wanted to be filmmakers.
terrible feels portions
The food in this place is really terrible. Yes, and such small portions. That's essentially how I feel about life.

I don't get depressed; I grow a tumor instead.
sex
After 60, all of us belong to the weaker sex.
