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

I felt as if I had attended the funeral of someone I didn't know.

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

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

Reality, like God and History, tends to direct people to wherever they want to go.

Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.

Art doesn't come in measured quantities: it's got to be too much or it's not enough.
