[on the appeal of his movies] When I was in New York and I had my office on Broadway, before Federal
Express and fax machines, there used to be things called messengers and
they used to come up to my office and see the posters for Maniac (1980) and
Vigilante (1982), That was my audience. They used to go crazy over those
movies. So that's what I always say to myself--that's my audience.
I'm making movies for the dishwasher, the messengers, that's who I'm
making movies for. People who would appreciate them. I'm making a six-pack and a joint for a Saturday night.
