Every Single Art Form Is Involved In

I'm Trying To Be Morally Responsible And No More. I Don't Have An Agenda I'm Trying To Push. People Talk About Three Days Of The Condor As Being Anti-government But The Last Statement In That Movie Is The Cia Guy Saying To Robert Redford, "ask 'em When They're Running Out. Ask 'em When There's No Heat In Their Homes And They're Cold. Ask 'em When Their Engines Stop. Ask 'em When People Who Have Never Known Hunger Start Going Hungry. You Want To Know Something? They Won't Want Us To Ask 'em. They'll Just Want Us To Get It For 'em!"

Once I Start To Do A Film, It Has Inferences. If A Guy Walks Down A Street And Kicks A Dog, You're Saying Something About That Guy. A Guy Walks Down The Street And Somebody's About To Be Run Over And He Shoves Him Out Of His Way And Gets Hit By The Car Himself, You're Saying That Guy's A Hero. You Can't Avoid Making Certain Statements.

Making A Film Is A Way For Me To Understand What It's Like To Be A Murderer, To Confess, To Be A Beaten Wife, To Be A Minority, To Be A Victor, To Get The Girl, To Lose The Girl. I Can Do All Of That Through The Practice Of An Art Form.

You Don't Normally Do Another Presentation Of All About Eve. You Do One All About Eve, And That's It.

I Don't Consider Myself A Teacher Of Moral And Political Positions. I Don't Want To Be That. I Can't Help But Have A Point Of View When I Make A Film, But My First Job Is To Entertain You.
