A year after winning the Oscar, almost to the day, I was directing a dog food commercial Picture Quote #1

I didn’t act in college, per se, because I didn’t want an acting degree. I don’t know what you do with that degree. When I was 16, I saw ‘Usual Suspects,’ and I wanted to be a director as well. So I thought I should go to school for directing and producing, something I knew nothing about Picture Quote #1

I was promoted associate professor in early 1970 and full professor in October of the same year. I spent the two spring semesters of 1972 and 1974 as visiting professor at Harvard University, giving lectures and directing a research project Picture Quote #1

My hands are already full writing and directing, because that’s a full time job. Actually, that’s why I don’t produce as well, as there’s already enough producers Picture Quote #1

As a storyteller, when you’re writing a movie and when you’re directing, you want to keep people entertained. That’s the whole point, right? It has to be entertaining Picture Quote #1

I think when I was getting into directing, or wanting to be a director, when I was a teenager, the two films that really inspired me were Raising Arizona and Evil Dead II.

Satan delegates high-ranking members of the hierarchy of evil spirits to control nations, regions, cities, tribes, people groups, neighborhoods and other significant social networks of human beings throughout the world. Their major assignment is to prevent God from being glorified in their territory, which they do through directing the activity of lower-ranking demons Picture Quote #1

I love to direct! I get really jazzed by directing, but directing is not the same kind of personal expression, the same kind of personal intimate expression that writing is. Because when you’re directing, you’re basically managing, basically getting out of people doing their job, except when you see them going astray Picture Quote #1

Much of directing [a movie] is not directing but just listening and being present in the moment and just keeping your eyes open Picture Quote #1

I act here and there but you have to commit so far out in advance when you’re directing that you - I’m kind of booked six months out, so it’s hard Picture Quote #1
