01:00Great films with great directors, that's the pinnacle.
01:03When Scorsese called me and asked me, I can't tell you what it meant to be.
01:09I could probably get the backing out for a number of pictures, but it has to be their pictures.
01:13What do you have to do to get to be able to make the movies that you have in your
01:17heart?
01:18When I make a movie, all I think is, what's the profit?
01:22I had finished two Godfather films, won a ton of Oscars, six of them, and I threw them out the
01:27window.
01:28And my mother went, she said, you shouldn't do that.
01:30Every film is like a masterclass.
01:32I always love movies.
01:33My mother wanted to punish me, she'd take them away from me.
01:37Sometimes I put them down the front of my pants because I like the way they fell.
01:41Among all odds, film is the most important.
01:45You have to fight very, very, very hard to do what you want because it always comes down to the
01:52money.
01:54The movie business is the worst lover you've ever had.
01:56You are seduced and abandoned over and over and over again.
02:00I must tell you, I'm optimistic.
