A film director has to get a shot, no matter what he does. We're desperate people.

I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.

I was taken in by what might be called the Hard Times version of the Communists' advertising or recruiting technique.

I was not a collective person or a bohemian; I was an elitist.

Anybody who informs on other people is doing something disturbing and even disgusting.

I value peace, too, when it is not bought at the price of fundamental decencies.

I may be getting old, but not foolish.
