Time Is The Lens Through Which Dreams

I Know That If A Film Is Ready To Emerge Out Of What I Write, I'll Be Able To Go Off And Make It Without Asking Anyone's Permission.

Cinema Without Risk Is Like Having No Sex And Expecting To Have A Baby.

I Just Finished A Film A Few Days Ago, And I Came Home And Said I Learned So Much Today. So If I Can Come Home From Working On A Little Film After Doing It For 45 Years And Say, "i Learned So Much Today," That Shows Something About The Cinema. Because The Cinema Is Very Young. It's Only 100 Years Old.

Work On Nothing Less Than Epic Scale

Frank Capra Was A Prop Man, I Think. John Ford Was A Prop Man. It Was A Little Bit Of A Father And Son Thing, And You Kind Of Worked Your Way Up.
