Lenin in 1921 observed very presciently that motion pictures were the most powerful tool ever invented to shape the way we thought. He was right. Political films can be successful.

Film is the only art form whose raw materials are so horrendously expensive that the artist cannot afford to buy them for himself.

I'm neither giving up nor giving in.

Undeniably the American art form, too. And yet more and more, we see films made that diminish the American experience and example. And sometimes trash it completely.

Another plague upon the land, as devastating as the locusts God loosed on the Egyptians, is 'Political Correctness.'

For an actor, there is no greater loss than the loss of his audience.

We don't think well of our presidents when they are serving. Even Kennedy, with such a short presidency, was beginning to lose his remarkable appeal to the American people when he was suddenly sainted by death.
