“I don't like movies where everything happens fast. I like the buildup, the obstacles, the mystery.”

“In fact, gory horror movies don't rank on the [list of] movies that I like. Good horror movies are great, but I just like good movies. I don't just watch grade Z garbage. That bores me to death.”

“Don't run I never liked fast food”

“I wanted to be Arcade in a fourth X-Men movie but the prequels ruined the franchise so I became Dr. Eggman in a Sonic movie where James Marsden, the actor who played Cyclops, is the best friend of the protagonist who is a fast little animal like Wolverine.”

“Why should I believe any of this?'

“I steal from every single movie ever made. If people don't like that, then tough tills, don't go and see it, all right? I steal from everything. Great artists steal, they don't do homages.”

“It just sort of happened. I wrote like what I'd always read and what was in the movies … I'm sure popular music is supposed to be like this.”

“I write movies about mavericks, about people who break rules, and I don't like movies about people who are pulverised for being mavericks.”

“I don't think much of most of the films I made, but being a movie star was something I liked very much.”

“Yes, I do enjoy walking at night. The world’s more to my liking then, not so loud, not so fast, not so crowded, and a good deal more mysterious.”
