“Film is probably the medium best suited to reach the most people - the visual, the aural, the limbic, the intellectual: it captures all these parts of our mind and soul. No other art form comes close.”

“You have to find the movie in the editing room, and it can't be four hours; it has to be two hours.”

“When a director is also a writer, everyone on the production looks to him, knowing he gave birth to the idea. There's a different level of viability.”

“The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.”

“I really have a lot of respect for music, the art form of music. It's my whole life. I don't care about any of that other stuff. And I have always felt that way. I'll build a career on my own merits, my own hard work and nothing else.”

“Photography was inspired by painting, cinema by theatre and photography, I don't believe that any new art form was ever created from scratch.”
