I don't think there's any information to be gotten from television.

It's upsetting to be a man in our society.

If you find that a point cannot be made without narration, it is virtually certain that the point is unimportant to the story (which is to say, to the audience).

For it is written that just as it is forbidden to partake of the forbidden, it is forbidden not to partake of the permitted.

We Americans have always considered Hollywood, at best, a sinkhole of depraved venality. And, of course, it is. It is not a protective monastery of aesthetic truth. It is a place where everything is incredibly expensive.

The audience perceives only what the actor wants to do to the other actor.

Everybody makes their own fun. If you don't make it yourself, it isn't fun. It's entertainment.
