The Role Of The Artist

But Ignorance Is A Kind Of Insanity In The Human Animal. People Who Delight In Torturing Defenseless Children Or Tiny Creatures Are In Reality Insane. The Terrible Thing Is That People Who Are Madmen In Private May Wear A Totally Bland And Innocent Expression In Public.

Movie Directors, Or Should I Say People Who Create Things, Are Very Greedy And They Can Never Be Satisfied... That's Why They Can Keep On Working. I've Been Able To Work For So Long Because I Think Next Time, I'll Make Something Good.

I Can't Afford To Hate Anyone. I Don't Have That Kind Of Time.

I Have No Idea Who The Characters Are, Later, Their Personalities Take Over Anything I Might Want To Do. I End Up Writing Not From My Own Will, But From Theirs-they Come Alive As I Write And Make Me Do Things That I Couldn't Have Planned.

There Is Something That Might Be Called Cinematic Beauty. It Can Only Be Expressed In A Film, And It Must Be Present For That Film To Be A Moving Work. When It Is Very Well Expressed, One Experiences A Particularly Deep Emotion While Watching That Film. I Believe That It Is This Quality That Draws People To Come And See A Film, And That It Is The Hope Of Attaining This Quality That Inspires The Filmmaker To Make His Film In The First Place.
