On Hitchcock

On Hitchcock
>I've never understood the cult of Hitchcock. Particularly the late American movies. They're all lit like television shows. I think he was senile a long time before he died. I saw one of the worst movies I've ever seen the other night – Rear Window. Everything is stupid about it. Complete insensitivity to what a story about voyeurism could be. Vertigo is even worse.
On Woody Allen
>I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man. Oh, yes. I can hardly bear to talk to him. He has the Chaplin disease. That particular combination of arrogance and timidity sets my teeth on edge.
On Chaplin
>He wasn't effeminate, just totally female as a performer. There was no masculine element there. And he was like that as a man, too, terribly female as a man. I never thought he was funny. I thought he was sinister.
On Bergman
>There’s an awful lot of Bergman that I’d rather be dead than sit through. For myself, unless a film is hallucinatory, unless it becomes that kind of an experience, it doesn’t come alive. I know that directors find serious and sensitive audiences for films where people sit around peeling potatoes in the peasant houses – but I can’t read that kind of novel either.
On Godard
>I just can't take him very seriously as a thinker – and that's where we seem to differ, because he does. His message is what he cares about these days, and, like most movie messages, it could be written on the head of a pin.
On Antonioni
>According to a young American critic, one of the great discoveries of our age is the value of boredom as an artistic subject. If that is so, Antonioni deserves to be counted as a pioneer and founding father.
On John Landis
>You know, the asshole from Animal House, a real shit. Won’t leave me alone. Keeps phoning me and giving me advice on how to make the movie, in a very patronizing way. Everything he says is dumb!
