There's Music In My Films But You Seldom Hear It. Very Early I Got The Idea That The Important Things In Films Were People - The Actors. They Are The Intermediary Between The Director And The Audience. They Make Direct Contact. People To People Communication.

Capitalism Is Supposedly Free Enterprise. Supposedly About The Free Individual. But Capitalism Itself Is So Massive That The Guy On The Street Gets Caught In Paying Rent, Taxes, And He Doesn't Own Himself At All.

I Was The Enemy Of The Major Studio. I Believed In One Man - One Film. I Believed One Man Should Make The Film. And I Believed The Director Should Be That One Man. One Man Should Do It - I Didn't Give A Damn Who. I Just Couldn't Accept Art As A Committee. I Could Only Accept Art As An Extension Of An Individual.

My Films Must Let Every Man, Woman, And Child Know That God Loves Them, That I Love Them, And That Peace And Salvation Will Become A Reality Only When They All Learn To Love Each Other.
