To me it's a mystery that you can show the horrific things in the movies, but not some sexual stuff which everyone does.
I never considered myself part of rock 'n' roll. My stuff was more adult. It was more difficult for teenagers to relate to; my stuff was filled with more despair than anything you'd associate with rock 'n' roll. Since I couldn't see people dancing, I didn't write jitterbugs or twists. I wrote rhythms that moved me. My style requires pure heart singing.
You know, the art films would usually be more, I mean the exploitation movies would usually be more lurid, but not that much more. I mean, actually back in those days that was what foreign films had. They had sex, they were selling Laura Antonelli.
There's nothing more Broadway than 'Hedwig.' It's very family-friendly. There's innuendo and stuff, but not more than you'd see on TV.
It was exactly the same on the South Park movie really too. There's lots of violence in that too, but it always came down to anything sexual... They don't care about anything else.
Life is like animal porn, it's not for everyone.
Impotence, fetishism, bisexuality, and bondage are all facts of life, and our fiction should reflect that.
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, won't you play with my ding-a-ling.
I'm always going to take an experience and a fire beat and marry it all together with adult melodies. I try to paint, just like Frank Ocean paints with his lyrics. I try in similar ways to paint my life into these songs.
Certainly 'Zero Dark Thirty' is not for children!
I never really had a childhood. I was around adults all the time. My favorite book when I was eight was “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex - But Were Afraid to Ask”. I was not afraid to ask.
Interview with a Vampire was lots of sex, so I'm not sure.
Life, as I see it, is R-rated.
In fact I have a full page warning, right in the front of the book, that no one under the age of eighteen should read this book and no one should even turn the pages if they are sexually conservative or erotically deprived.
I would have specific books [when I was 12 or 13] that had pages that I knew had sex on them that I would go and read.
I saw 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' with my mom. It was really awkward.
I really like big swashbuckling superhero films, but I feel like that Marvel universe is not adult enough.
I'm not a big one for lots of genitals flapping in the films.
The only problem with Mitch [Pileggi, the actor who plays Skinner] is that his bald head means there's nothing to hold onto when he starts to buck.
There's not one film that I've ever made that could get made today by a studio, not one - even 'A Few Good Men' because it's an adult courtroom drama, and studios do not make them any more. And so every movie that I make, have made and will make is always going be independently financed.
People love to talk about how the '70s are the only time they made movies about characters, and adult movies, and complicated people. But in the '80s, they got away with some of those too.
What was up with class today? It was watered-down porn. He practically had you and Patch on top of your lab table, horizontal, minus your clothes, doing the Big Deed.
My children can't see many of the films that I've been in because I'm always either dying or taking my clothes off.
A 12-year-old can watch 'Spiderman.' A 12-year-old cannot watch 'Watchmen.'
What I write is not for little girls.
