Television as we have it isn't an art form - it's a piece of furniture that is good for a few things.

Writers who go to Hollywood still follow the classic pattern: either you get disgusted by 'them' and you leave or you want the money and you become them.

Robert Redford ... has turned almost alarmingly blond-he's gone past platinum, he must be into plutonium; his hair is coordinated with his teeth.

For a while in the twenties and thirties, art was talked about as a substitute for religion; now B movies are a substitute for religion.

Television represents what happens to a medium when the artists have no power and the businessmen are in full, unquestioned control.

An artist must either give up art or develop.

I believe that we respond most and best to work in any art form (and to other experience as well) if we are pluralistic, flexible, relative in our judgments, if we are electic.
