In life, we all learn from everyone.

Any change in form produces a fear of change, and that has accelerated. Marketing is the death of invention, because marketing deals with the familiar.

What makes God laugh is people who make plans.

I was very glad later when I was directing that I wasn't in the hands of a cinematographer and hoping that he would do it well. I would know what he was doing, and we could discuss how that scene would look.

You make the movie through the cinematography - it sounds quite a simple idea, but it was like a huge revelation to me.

Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.

But in marketing, the familiar is everything, and that is controlled by the studio. That is reaching its apogee now.
