That Wasn't An Ending. It Was Just

Chance Is Another Name That We Give To Our Mistakes. And All Of The Best Things In My Films Are Mistakes.

I've Had It-the Agencies, The Winking, The Networks, The Ratings. Anyone Who Thinks Tv Is An Art Medium Is Crazy-it's An Advertising Medium.

You Will Never See'altman's Great Film Of The Seventies: The Director's Cut' Because You Have Never Seen A Film Of Mine That Wasn't The Director's Cut. I Have Never Permitted It.

If Something Works For You, You Continue To Do It. I Did A Bunch Of Pictures For 20th Century Fox When Alan Ladd Was Over There, But I Set The Budgets So Low That They'd Approve And I'd Deliver The Film. They Would Have No Say In It, Which Is The Kind Of Arrangement I Liked.

Most Of My Films I Call Arena Films. I Deal With A Confined Area -- An Arena -- And I Try To Cover Every Aspect Of It.
