There Are No Rules In Filmmaking

I Made Mistakes In Drama. I Thought Drama Was When Actors Cried. But Drama Is When The Audience Cries.

If The Audience Gets Everything, If They See The Photography And Notice That It Is Good, Then The Story Goes Out The Window, But If You Become Involved With The Lives Of The Actors And Forget That You Are Seeing Mechanical Devices On A Huge Screen - Forget The Make-believe - This Is The Job Of The Director To Involve The Audience With The Actors.

Do Not Help The Quick Moneymakers Who Have Delusions About Taking Possession Of Classics By Smearing Them With Paint.

Someone Should Keep Reminding Mr. Average Man That He Was Born Free, Divine, Strong; Uncrushable By Fate, Society, Or Hell Itself; And That He Is A Child Of God, Equal Heir To All The Bounties Of God; And That Goodness Is Riches, Kindness Is Power, And Freedom Is Glory. Above All, Every Man Is Born With An Inner Capacity To Take Him As Far As His Imagination Can Dream Or Envision-providing He Is Free To Dream And Envision.

I Happen To Think That Jesus Was The Greatest Hero Of All Time. I Don't Think You Could Invent That Kind Of A Hero. He Had It All - Everything That The Human Spirit Could Yearn For. There Is Nothing That Man Ever Said Or Did, By Word Or Deed That Is Evil. That Is Not Full Of Compassion. That Is Not Full Of Love For Your Neighbor Whether He's Down Or Out, Or Up - No Matter What. He Taught That You Must Love Your Neighbor Whether He's A Crook, A Beggar, Whether He's Rich Or Poor.
