Somewhere in the '60s, actors became wimps and basket-case psychotics.

I adore jokes. They're a theatrical contrivance, but the irony of all fiction is that you approach reality by avoiding it a bit; you spoof it a bit.

Most of the time, I leave the camera on the obvious special effects, like the rubber bodies, so that it become obvious they're not real.

We are always getting photos and publicity from people who want to act in Andy's movies. We always throw them away. They don't seem to realize that the last thing we'd put into a movie is an actor. Because all the other movies use actors.

Andy was not a director and not a writer. He operated the camera a little bit, and he wasn't even so good at that.
