"The [movie industry] ratings board reflect[s] the morals of the times. So now, with Reagan as president, it's all right to shred children, but bare breasts are pretty disgusting. The morality of the times is deeply sick." American Film Institute speech, January 27, 1982 "When 'Animal House' turned out the way it did, they all rushed to me with barrels of money begging me to make them rich." "I've done every job there is to do on a movie set except makeup. Wait a minute, I've done makeup. I've done every job there is to do on a movie set except hairdressing." [Commenting on visiting Paramount for the first time in years.] "I felt like Norma Desmond." In 1991: "I live with the "Twilight Zone" every day of my life." "I've had people come up to me and say Jake and Elwood Blues are these legendary blues artists and I start thinking 'uh-oh'."
