"Every film I make is a comedy."

"I am to provide the public with beneficial shocks."

"I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film."

"I don't mind if a film is a flop, as long as it makes a lot of money."

"I like to play with the audience, to make them wonder what's going to happen next."
