An audience is never wrong. An individual member of it may be an imbecile, but a thousand imbeciles together in the dark - that is critical genius.

Don't be too clever for an audience. Make it obvious. Make the subtleties obvious also.

You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.

I hate that word. It's return--a return to the millions of people who've never forgiven me for deserting the screen.
