A lot of stuff in Wikipedia is not true, and that goes for a lot of people. I sometimes think, "How can that happen?" But Wikipedia is maintained by people, and everybody can add stuff to it.

Nobody makes movies bad on purpose.

I'm a filmmaker, not a scientist.

I try to put in every one of my movies some sort of message. I don't want to overdo it, because I don't want people to get annoyed by it, but it's good to have a message.

Do not fear. Some things will never change.

The egotism of woman is always for two.
