Style lasts forever and taste doesn't.

Movies without meaningful dialogue play well all over the world. The Apostle is probably the best movie of the year, but it won't do squat in Korea.

My education was an education by movies.

Style and taste do not have anything to do with the other. It's the difference between wit and humor.

Style is a way of talking about yourself.

I couldn't sit down and write a novel or a short story - even now - because of my dyslexia. But I learned narration through movies.

Movie narration in the forties was radically different than the narrative involved in books.
