- I’m too young to be a king and too committed to be a queen.

- I made experimental commercials in the experimental division of a production house, Film X, that made commercials for ad agencies.
- Tell me a country that is doing well and has a great leader? You look at the nuclear weapons all over the place, and you look at things like ISIS, and every country seems to have a battle going on.
- Life is too easy when you’re a movie star. People will do anything you want and get you anything you want.
- I’m really happy for my son. He’s turned his life around. I’m so proud of him.
- When I got out of the Army, I started writing the usual ‘Catcher in the Rye’ imitations, and then I wrote something that was done Off-Off Broadway in a theater. It was called ‘What Else Is There?’ and it was four or five people playing missiles in a silo waiting to take off.
- I don’t look at it as a career. I’ve just made a few films, and I want to make a few more.
- I loved reading when the critics in New York would say that some of my films reminded them of Lenny Bruce.
