This book has too much plot and not enough story.

You've got to take the sour with the bitter.

If I were in this business only for the business, I wouldn't be in this business.

I'd hire the devil himself as a writer if he gave me a good story.

I don't want to be surrounded by 'yes men'. I want people who'll disagree with me, even if it costs them their jobs.

Too caustic? To hell with the costs, we'll make the picture anyway.

A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad.
