A Movie Is Never Any Better Than

Time Is A Circus, Always Packing Up And Moving Away.

The Factors That Laid Low So Whooping And Puissant An Empire As The Old Hollywood Are Many. I Can Think Of A Score, Including The Barbarian Hordes Of Television. But There Is One That Stands Out For Me In The Post-mortem.... The Factor Had To Do With The Basis Of Movie-making: 'who Shall Be In Charge Of Telling The Story.'

Like The Actor, Authority Has Faith In Its False Whiskers. But Its Deepest Faith Is In The Human Illusion. People Will Hang On To Illusion As Eagerly As Life Itself.

In Moderating, Not Satisfying Desires, Lies Peace.

I Discovered Early In My Movie Work That A Movies Never Any Better Than The Stupidest Man Connected With It. There Are Times When This Distinction May Be Given To The Writer Or Director. Most Often It Belongs To The Producer.
