“I fly an aeroplane, and I think a lot about how much I do not want eve...” — Sydney Pollack Quote

“I fly an aeroplane, and I think a lot about how much I do not want ever to run into an optimistic air traffic controller. I just don't. I want a guy down there who's just waiting for the worst crash possible and petrified that it's going to happen on his watch. And then I feel safe flying into his territory.”

“There are very few Westerns that have ever made really giant money.”

“The problem with filming something is that we struggle desperately to make three dimensions out of two dimensions. It can't be done.”

“'Crash' came from personal experience. I saw things inside me from living in L.A. that made me uncomfortable. I saw horrible things in people and saw terrible things in myself. I saw a black director completely humiliated, but the three people around me just thought it was funny. 'No,' I said, 'that is selling your soul.'”

“I got the craziest crash course in rock n' roll that I could have ever dreamed of.”

“I like to enjoy foods that keep my energy levels stable. Otherwise I'd likely crash at some point during the day.”
