“I'd never heard anything about this at all.”

“I've never had a movie that got great reviews. I've had movies that got different levels of good and bad reviews, but you can more or less count on plenty of bad reviews.”

“I have a way of filming things and staging them and designing sets. There were times when I thought I should change my approach, but in fact, this is what I like to do.

“The subject of an outsider who becomes obsessed.”

“One of the things I enjoyed the most is just working as an actor.”
