I don't feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances, but they wouldn't do it. They all thought it was too long. One director wanted to cut the Civil War sequence. Another thought the white woman was very cliched. ↗

I always end up being the evil one, and I wouldn't hurt a fly. ↗

I split my time between Santa Barbara and Aspen. I live on a pretty fast horse. ↗

I stand up for what I believe. I don't know if it's always paid off for me, because I've been ridiculed and humiliated. ↗

I think there are good men and women in all decades. We've grown cynical. And look at what we do to all our heroes: Churchill, FDR, Kennedy, they all had affairs. But heroic things happen every day. ↗

I work for the public, for the people who are paying to go to the cinema, rather than for the critics. ↗

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. ↗

I'm in a position where whatever I do, I can get my head handed to me. I'm in a position to fail because there is a whole group of people out there who want me to fail. It's a weird vibe. ↗

I'm proud of all the movies I've made. They're not sequels, they're not franchises. And the reason I pick my films carefully is that I don't want to spit on my life. I like to think of myself as more than that. ↗
