Michael Winner's quotes

• I don't want to live in a tolerant society. I want to live in a very intolerant society.
• Women like to be treasured for themselves. They don't get taken in by men with money. In fact, I did far better when I was an assistant director.
• My sympathy is totally with the little old lady who gets bashed over the head with an iron bar, not with the youngster who did it and gets sent to the South of France for six weeks to turn into a lovely human being.
• On late actor-comedian Terry-Thomas: "For years, in the English film business, if you wanted a Terry-Thomas-type comedian, you were lucky if you got Terry-Thomas himself.".
• A team effort is a lot of people doing what I say.
• Success has gone to my stomach.
• In this business disaster is always just around the corner.
• The hardest part of directing is staying awake for nine weeks at a stretch.
• There's no moralistic side to Death Wish (1974); it's a pleasant romp.
• Hitchcock said actors are cattle, but show me a cow who can earn one million dollars per film.
• If you want art, don't mess about with movies. Buy a Picasso.
• Nearly dying hasn't taught me a thing. It's just taught me that being ill is a bloody pain!
• [on censors] They all tended to be failed directors who suddenly find they have power over every director in the world and they misuse it.
• I don't go out much, partly because I get bored sitting next to the same person for three hours and partly because I started giving my hostesses marks out of 10 for their cooking.
• I don't think people are affected by what they see. It's fantasy, people don't watch a murder and then go out and commit one.
• I do essentially the same things I did as an 18-year-old. I go on dates, I make films, I write. Nothing has really changed.
• I'd have Charles Bronson starring in Death Wish XXVI if I thought it would make a profit.
• (On regularly being asked to remake Death Wish (1974)) "I don't want to do something for the sake of it. I am prepared to wait. If I wait until I am buried, too bad".
• I've got no fear about death. I'm very happy to snuff it; you have to live with the cards you've been dealt with.
• Girlfriends have to be cheerful, light and bright is essential, otherwise, what's the point?
