Thank you for your input; I can tell you are struggling towards being interesting.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: books are dead, plays are dead, poems are dead: there’s only movies. Music is still okay, because music is sound track. Ten, fifteen years ago, every arts student wanted to be a novelist or a playwright. I’d be amazed if you could find a single one now with such a dead-end ambition. They all want to make movies. Not write movies. You don’t write movies. You make movies.

We always make the mistake, the fatal mistake in the case of military people, of imagining that each war will be a kind of version of the one that happened previously.

When you've seen a nude infant doing a backward somersault you know why clothing exists.

You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film.

Education is the sum of what students teach each other between lectures and seminars.

And of course you are mad, if by a madman we mean a mind that questions and rejects every civilized norm.
