My Films Must Let Every Man, Woman, And Child Know That God Loves Them, That I Love Them, And That Peace And Salvation Will Become A Reality Only When They All Learn To Love Each Other.

There's Music In My Films But You Seldom Hear It. Very Early I Got The Idea That The Important Things In Films Were People - The Actors. They Are The Intermediary Between The Director And The Audience. They Make Direct Contact. People To People Communication.

The Best Way To Make Friends With An Audience Is To Make Them Laugh. You Don't Get People To Laugh Unless They Surrender - Surrender Their Defenses, Their Hostilities. And Once You Make An Audience Laugh, They're With You. And They Listen To You If You've Got Something To Say. I Have A Theory That If You Can Make Them Laugh, They're Your Friends.

There Are A Lot Of People Who Believe That The Individual Can't Make It Himself. And That's Why People Want To Join Up In Various Herds - Herd Formation. So You Become Part Of A Herd, A Group. Group Power Of Some Kind. There's An Awful Lot Of Group Power People In Our Country [the Usa] - Black Power, Chinese Power, Indian Power, Woman Power. Everyone Is Putting In Together.

All You Can Do Is Learn The Skills Of Movies. Neither Colleges Nor Anyone Else Can Teach You Creativity. They Can Teach You Abilities To Work With - You Know How To Use The Gifts You've Been Born With.
