Economy, speed, nervousness, and desperation produce the final wasteful, semi-incoherent movies we see.

When I see those ads with the quote 'You'll have to see this picture twice,' I know it's the kind of picture I don't want to see once.

When a picture can't make it on its own, the producers pull in a 'controversial' message - the way a couple whose marriage is falling apart decide to have a baby.

What is getting older if it isn't learning more ways that you're vulnerable?

If there's anything to learn from the history of movies, it's that corruption leads to further corruption, not to innocence.

It is a depressing fact that Americans tend to confuse morality and art (to the detriment of both) and that, among the educated, morality tends to mean social consciousness.

All our advertising is propaganda, of course, but it has become so much a part of our life, is so pervasive, that we just don't know what it is propaganda for.
