| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [on Total Recall (1990)] Fantastic, fantastic. It's going to blow everyone away. |
| 2 | (On money) I hunted with a credit card. |
| 3 | (On the film "Brewster's Millions) Fantasies about spending are irresistible, the best! Who wouldn't want to indulge the luxury of squandering millions and millions of dollars? |
| 4 | (On Lethal Weapon film) We blasted a toilet out of that window. Over there, we drove a car straight into the living room. |
| 5 | [on movies]: That's how fascinated I was with movies. I was fascinated with the lifestyle of these guys--how they lived, how they ran the show. They guys lived like Saudi princes. |
| 6 | The core of the movie business remains intact and it's not descending in scope. Studios want movies that are bigger than ever. |
| 7 | There aren't a lot of guys like me left. But I'm a war horse. I've been through it all. And you know something about war horses? Through the sleet, through the snow,they just keep going. |
| 8 | On his recent film: It's a little movie, but a big little movie. |
| 9 | [on his contract with Warner Studios]: Maybe I will continue with Warner and maybe I won't. I hope I do. |
| 10 | I'm not in the business to make art; I'm in it to make money to buy art. |
| 11 | ...My advice to young Producers... The only way to succeed is to get behind a screen-play you really believe in. |
| 12 | When California provides the same value as other locations, I'd gladly shoot all my pictures here. |
| 13 | [After seeing the poor box office of Streets of Fire (1984).] "Tonight is what it means to be dead." |
| 14 | I want an explosion the size of Cleveland. |
