I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.

Making fun is serious business.

The B-movies that are doing good business now cater to an audience which wants a lot of noise to fill the soundtrack.,. and a lot of feminine flesh to fill the optical track.

I hope that the entertainment I give has some lasting effect on people. I hope they see the beauty that I myself am seeking. I am trying to express a beauty that embraces not only physical characteristics and scenes, but the true fundamental emotions of humanity. Beauty. Beauty is what I am after.

In this desperate way, I started many a comedy.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.
