Trivia

  • [on Hurd Hatfield] America`s least known great actor.
    (imdb.com)
  • [1982 comment on Steven Spielberg] The movies have changed: there`s now this wonderful storyteller Spielberg making benign movies that are enormously successful, while I`m known mainly for making movies about people shooting and cutting each other up. I love his work, but I could never make stuff like that.
    (imdb.com)
  • There hasn`t been much of a market for what I can do. I`m not into outer space epics or youth pictures.
    (imdb.com)
  • Lee Strasberg ruined an entire generation of actors with that sense memory crap.
    (imdb.com)
