Quotes

  • “Only rubbish people would call my movies rubbish. What qualifies them to have an opinion? Critics are not God, and it’s not for them to judge what’s good or bad; the audience should decide. It’s easy for anyone to use a pen to dismiss others. If I was to pick up my pen, they would lose 99 per cent of the time. I’ve never, ever heard a member of the audience call my movies rubbish.”
  • "Vulgarity is the basic instinct of human beings. Humans misinterpret vulgarity. I change vulgarity into art as to let you enjoy it." - Quote from movie What You Want
  • "Why do they call me that? Because I'm famous. Now and then every famous director in the country gets panned. So if they curse you it proves you're really hot, like a big soccer star...if you score now, they'll cheer, but they'll curse you for sure if you miss the next time round. I don't care. The more they curse, it just proves I'm getting hotter." - On being called "the King of Crappy cinema" and an opportunist.
  • "This must be the tenth generation cursing me... Those who curse me turn very quiet later...then another generation starts again. But I'm still here. Those people don't get the meaning of 'respect'. You're crappier than the person you call crap. If I'm rubbish, would I be still as hot as I was since (I was) nineteen? The audience are not stupid!"

Famous quotes containing the word quotes:

    “Young people of high school age can actually feel themselves changing. Progress is almost tangible. It’s exciting. It stimulates more progress. Nevertheless, growth is not constant and smooth. Erik Erikson quotes an aphorism to describe the formless forming of it. “I ain’t what I ought to be. I ain’t what I’m going to be, but I’m not what I was.””
    —Stella Chess (20th century)

    “A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word as good. What he quotes, he fills with his own voice and humour, and the whole cyclopedia of his table-talk is presently believed to be his own.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say “I think,” “I am,” but quotes some saint or sage.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
