All Sayings

I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for the body in the coach.

I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that.

A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom.

I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells.

The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes.

I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.

I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.

I’m an introvert… I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.

I don't think I'm a very good actor. I'm not that talented. I'm just lucky.

I don't like to talk about myself. I like to let my work speak for itself.

I don't dream in black and white. I dream in Technicolor. And it's usually 2.35:1 anamorphic.

I make films because I have to. I've always been driven to tell stories.

I steal from every single movie ever made.

Do you think God gets stoned? I think so... look at the platypus.

One doesn’t recognize the really important moments in one’s life until it’s too late.

The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.

All human wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope.

I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is and to cross it deliberately.

I believe the children are our future. Unless we stop them now.

The only way to be truly free is to be an individual, and the only way to be an individual is to be weird.
