Happy Birthday: Brian De Palma

Brian De Palma

Born: September 11, 1940 in Newark, New Jersey, USA

I’ve never been accepted as that conventional artist. Whatever you say about David Lynch or Martin Scorsese, they are considered major film artists and nobody can argue with that. I’ve never had that. I’ve had people say it about me. And I’ve had people say that I’m a complete hack and, you know, derivative and all those catchphrases that people use for me. So I’ve always been controversial. People hate me or love me.
