(On the Batman character): I think Batman is a great character in that he has a lot of internalization, and his heroics come from a dark place.

I`ve learned things about myself through singing. I used to have a certain dislike of the audience, not as individual people, but as a giant body who was judging me.

There`s nothing self-gratifying about knowing you`ve played a performance where people may easily dislike the character and associate it with you. There`s nothing fun about having people suspicious about why you`re making work. I`m clearly not networking or making a bid for popularity. I`m following another motivation, and it`s not as a provocateur. It`s because I`m blinded, like an idiot, by wanting to preserve and express an insight that I have, or an aesthetic that I believe in. I forget that people react to me personally as the representative of that. Did you see a credit for hair and makeup? How can I be a narcissist?

It`s hard to make movies where you put women in peril any more. You can`t really stalk women around anymore. It`s very difficult. It`s sort of unsettling to field a lot of hostile questions about why you keep doing this and why you dislike women so much. You say, "It`s a murder mystery, I`m running out of victims." It`s all right to kill men, but women are out. No one complained when I killed a man in "Sisters."

I always try to follow a certain pattern and work without thinking of the audience. It is not that I dislike my audience; I am not an intellectual, but I believe that films should not be made to entertain the audience, earn money or achieve popularity. I think that films should be made to be as good as possible. And it seems to me that this is the best way to work and to be trustworthy in the world of cinema.

All my movies have an autobiographical dimension, but that is indirectly, through the personages.

(on the detractors of The Rules of Attraction (2002)) It does not matter to me if you hate the movie. What matters to me is if you are ambivalent. Anybody can do "thumbs up, thumbs down". That`s the real problem with film criticism today. It`s been reduced to "I like it, I dislike it". Criticism should be more of an examination of exactly why a film makes you feel the way you feel.

- Roger Avary

The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant, systematic duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike and rejoice at what bring you nothing but misfortune. Our nervous system isn`t just a fiction, it`s part of our physical body, and our soul exists in space and is inside us, like teeth in our mouth. It can`t be forever violated with impunity.
