I don’t want to be seen smiling, having fun, or eating.
My hatred for Japanese cinema includes absolutely all of it.
Nothing that is expressed is obscene. What is obscene is what is hidden.
The concept of 'obscenity' is tested when one dares to look at something that he has an unbearable desire to see but has forbidden himself to look at. When one feels that everything that one had wanted to see has been revealed, 'obscenity' disappears, the taboo disappears as well, and there is a certain liberation.
I do not like to be called a samurai, but I admit that I have an image of myself as a fighter. I would like to fight against all authorities and powers.
To the leaders of the cinema still to come, I can offer only a few words drawn from my modest experience. You must ceaselessly formulate and sharpen your critical views, both of others and of yourselves.
The compelling argument is on the side of homosexuals. We're Americans. We just want to be treated like everybody else. That is a compelling argument. And to deny that, you've got to have a very strong argument on the other side. And the other side hasn't been able to do anything but thump the Bible. . . I support civil unions, I always have. All right, the gay marriage thing, I don't feel that strongly about it one way or the other.
You're not stealing anything, you're not breaking anything, so I'd guess you're Stephanie.
Like everybody, I have invested in things that have gone bad, because there's never any guarantee of success or profit when it comes to money.
. . . but the enchantment of error that you put on me I must wear forever in your eyes.
