“The actors are in control, getting outrageous amounts of money. The re...” — Peter Bogdanovich Quote

The actors are in control, getting outrageous amounts of money. The reason they're getting this kind of money is because the studios don't know what else to do. They don't have a clue about what to do except to pay an actor a lot of money.

I was offered 'Popeye,' which Robert Altman made. They offered me $2 million to direct that, which was good money. I wasn't interested in it. I don't like that kind of movie.

I've stopped caring what people think.

'Jaws' was the first A-list picture that was released like an exploitation picture. They made a lot of money with that picture because they could save a lot of money on advertising. Instead of having a full-page ad in 'The New York Times' for one theater, they had it for 100 theaters.

I have no clue why, but maybe sometimes when there's someone you don't hear from, it's the person you want to hear from the most.

I'm forever making it out like I have got it all together and I know what I'm doing. The truth is I haven't got a clue what I'm doing.

You know the thing that interests me about 'Unsolved Mysteries?' It's because there are people out there, people who know something, who may have the one final clue.

I meet people in my business who have this extraordinary ability to understand human nature in their work, but in real life, they don't seem to have the first clue.

I don't know what drives me, I don't have a clue, but I'm driven more today than I ever have been.
