As for showing the sexual act in film, I think that’s a lot of balls, phony, exploitative and commercial. It’s cheap voyeurism and I think there’s too damned much of it now anyway. It makes me very angry. If that makes me a prude, so be it. I think some things are private, and just as I wouldn’t show a person dying – I mean the death rattle, the actual last private agony of death – I wouldn’t show that intense private joy of intercourse. Playboy magazine, tit films and cocktail-party diatribes have not only affected our society but have shaped it with such discontent regarding men and women that sex is no longer in itself sufficient without violence, death or neurosis as stimulants.
