All one has to do is look at old footage of the firebombing of Dresden during World War II and think of the people beneath those bombs. It's horrific.

War is war. Vietnam is no different from the Crusades.

I don't make movies to make a point; I make movies to tell stories about people.

Most people I knew had been crippled by their educations. Some were even dying spiritually.

Making movies is controlled anarchy, chaos.

They've said everything about me that they could: racist, Marxist, rightist, homophobic, sex change - I don't know what else they could come up with.

I was a child prodigy. Like Michelangelo, who could draw a perfect circle at age five. I was extremely gifted. I could paint a perfect portrait of someone at age five.

All of those years, I felt like 'Heaven's Gate' was a beautiful, fantastically colored balloon tied to a string fastened to my wrist, so the balloon could never fly.

Every good war film, if you want to use that phrase - I don't think it's a good phrase, but if you want to use that phrase - every good film, a first-rate film about war, is an anti-war movie.
