There's only one thing that can kill the movies, and that's education.

The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.

The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.
