I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else and I want the same thrill.

I watch and listen to movies today and am shocked by the way actors deliver their lines. Everybody mumbles now and I don't understand why.

A lot of times we're just sold these movies that are really cynically conceived and marketed and they just want you there opening weekend before everybody finds out it's not so good.

Not everybody goes to movies to get their life changed.

I'm glad movies aren't going to please everybody they can't. But what they have to be is recognisable. I don't equate myself with a master painter but I think you can recognise my films.

My movies just kind of sneak up on you. I don't have to worry too much about what everybody is going to say. Anyway I really don't pay attention to what the world says about my movies. I just care about what my buddies think.

Sure 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees.

Everybody's a filmmaker today.

I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.

For the first-time novelist you've got to get up at 5:30 in the morning and write until 7 make breakfast and go to work. Or come home and work for an hour. Everybody has an hour in their day somewhere.

Everybody's after a new morning. What do we have to run up and salute tomorrow?

There we times when everybody in the house has the flu. You're cleaning up vomit and it's 2 in the morning and you're wishing there was somebody else there to help you.

I remember we woke up one morning at Denny's house and John Phillips called. He said you guys okay? We said yeah what's wrong what's going on? He said well everybody's dead over at Sharon's house at Terry Melcher's place.

I remember being at school during morning meeting and looking around at everybody 350 kids saying a prayer. We're all very young and no one knows what it means and I remember feeling strange that people were just repeating words that they didn't understand. I refused to participate. For some reason I always rejected it but respectfully.

Men and women were declared equal one morning and everybody could divorce each other by postcard.

I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.

Nowadays everybody assumes when they wake up in the morning if they have a question it will get answered. Because they have the internet. No matter what the question is someone will answer their question.

There's nothing in the world more silent than the telephone the morning after everybody pans your play. It won't ring from room service your mother won't be calling you. If the phone has not rung by 8 in the morning you're dead.

There's pros and cons of a big church. Cons is I don't get to know everybody I don't get to go to their ballgame I don't get to marry everybody but the pros are you get all this community 800 ushers come in to serve getting there at 7 in the morning on their day off and coming in on Saturday to make all those wafers.

Hip-hop don't have no fresh energy none at all. It's money driven everybody tryin' to make that cheque nobody putting art in their albums any more.

Everybody likes a kidder but nobody lends him money.

I'm not broke. Like everybody else I owe money.

Everybody gets everything handed to them. The rich inherit it. I don't mean just inheritance of money. I mean what people take for granted among the middle and upper classes which is nepotism the old-boy network.

I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed.
