Your Own Ego Is The Only Trap

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.

If You Have A Child Who Is Seven Feet Tall, You Don't Cut Off His Head Or His Legs. You Buy Him A Bigger Bed And Hope He Plays Basketball.

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.

Every Ad For Every Film Is Exactly The Same.

What Is An Ending? There's No Such Thing. Death Is The Only Ending.
