A Movie Should Be As Long As

Making A Film Means, First Of All, To Tell A Story. That Story Can Be An Improbable One, But It Should Never Be Banal. It Must Be Dramatic And Human. What Is Drama, After All, But Life With The Dull Bits Cut Out?

Fear Isn't So Difficult To Understand. After All, Weren't We All Frightened As Children? Nothing Has Changed Since Little Red Riding Hood Faced The Big Bad Wolf. What Frightens Us Today Is Exactly The Same Sort Of Thing That Frightened Us Yesterday. It's Just A Different Wolf. This Fright Complex Is Rooted In Every Individual.

Television Is Like The Invention Of Indoor Plumbing. It Didn't Change People's Habits. It Just Kept Them Inside The House.

I Always Take The Audience Into Account.

I Am A Typed Director. If I Made Cinderella, The Audience Would Immediately Be Looking For A Body In The Coach.
