I made mistakes in drama. I thought drama was when actors cried. But drama is when the audience cries.

Film is a disease. When it infects your bloodstream, it takes over as the number one hormone; it bosses the enzymes; directs the pineal gland; plays Iago to your psyche. As with heroin, the antidote to film is more film.

Film is universal. All the countries of the world are making films. Hollywood is the only major unsubsidized center for films. To my knowledge all others are at least partially subsidized. I'm glad Hollywood isn't.

I always felt the world cannot fall apart as long as free men see the rainbow, feel the rain and hear the laugh of a child.
