When you can look forward, and the road is clear ahead, and now you are going to create something - that's as happy as I'd want to be.

A lot of movies are about life, mine are like a slice of cake.

Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.

Kicking is very important in football. In fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.

I don't understand why we have to experiment with film. I think everything should be done on paper. A musician has to do it, a composer. He puts a lot of dots down and beautiful music comes out. And I think that students should be taught to visualize. That's the one thing missing in all this. The one thing that the student has got to do is to learn that there is a rectangle up there - a white rectangle in a theater - and it has to be filled.

The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop.

I can't read fiction without visualizing every scene. The result is it becomes a series of pictures rather than a book.
