They say the movies should be more like life; I think life should be more like the movies.

Most of the sex I've seen on the screen looks like an expression of hostility towards sex.

Why does every black person in the movies have to play a servant? How about a black person walking up the steps of a courthouse carrying a briefcase?

If you're bored in New York, it's your own fault.

I think that carrying on a life that is meant to be private in public is a breach of taste, common sense, and mental hygiene.

I admire some of the people on the screen today, but most of them look like everybody else. In our day we had individuality. Pictures were more sophisticated. All this nudity is too excessive and it is getting very boring. It will be a shame if it upsets people so much that it brings on the need for censorship. I hate censorship. In the cinema there's no mystery. No privacy. And no sex, either. Most of the sex I've seen on the screen looks like an expression of hostility towards sex.
