John Milius Quotations

I may not be the strongest guy or the most well armed, but you can put me in a room with a pencil and a piece of paper and I can kill anybody.

I'm the barbarian of Hollywood.

A lot of people thought of me as a threat to Western civilization.

A lot of directors don't know what they want to do. Every director I've seen that was a good director that I've admired knew exactly what he wanted to do. They didn't sit there and think about it.

I hardly said a word to my wife until I said 'yes' to divorce.

Matter of fact, the style that people use today, I invented in a way.

I suppose when I started out I would have liked to have been the darling of critics or something, but everybody wants to be loved and admired.

You know, I find it very strange when movies that I made that were just excoriated - I mean that I was just vilified for - are now looked at as classics.

I've always had trouble with authority.

To be a good executive you have to be strong, and you have to have a simple attribute that people have forgotten about - courage.
