In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor.

I'm open to comments. I'm open to objective points of view, because I've been very narrow and very subjective.

I realized what you could do in motion pictures by surrounding yourself with geniuses.

It was just the thrill of a lifetime. Brando and Hackman were two of my heroes.

It's only been a couple of times in my life that I've really locked horns with actors. It did not hurt the films, it just hurt the moment of the filmmaking.

If you had the opportunity and some talent, there was no way you couldn't progress, because it was an open market. There was the advertising world, and there was the documentary world.

I was painting sets, working in editorial as an assistant, driving their trucks... lying that I knew how to drive a truck... and doing commercials and documentaries.

I was really disappointed that Warner Bros. didn't think highly enough of my film or my filmmaking to ask me to make the new Superman.

I think what some people are doing with effects is starting to get silly. It's overused.

How was I going to make a man fly? How was I going to convince the public that an actor could fly?

I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately.

He had had much experience of physicians, and said 'the only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd druther not'.

The blind man is laughing at the bald head.

I never planned to be rich, frankly speaking. I was more interested in being free, and doing things. And money helps. But otherwise I was never that interested in it.

Donald Trump's being authentic to what he ran on and what got elected.

Let me tell you, if your marriage is in trouble, skip the therapist and find a psycho. Nothing brings people together faster.

Retailing has gone from an information-scarce to an information-rich environment.

I wanted to enjoy the process. I wanted to enjoy just being on stage and giving back and the feedback.

I deserve to have boundaries, and my boundaries are respected. I love and honor myself. I am safe. All is well.

Is there a movie I think I should have won the Oscar for? Yeah. All of them.

I find that forgiving one's enemies is a most curious morbid pleasure; perhaps I should check it.
