Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?

Like the man said, can happiness buy money?

When I made my first film, I think the thing was probably helped me the most was that it was such an unusual thing to do in the early 50s for someone who actually go and make a film. People thought it was impossible. It really is terribly easy. All anybody needs is a camera, a tape recorder, and some imagination.

You either connect or you don't connect. It's not the end of the world. It's a movie.

I, uh, don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir.

The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent, but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.

I'm a slave to my imagination in terms of making narrative films.
