“If you're mostly a writer - if your point of departure is writing some...” — Whit Stillman Quote

“If you're mostly a writer - if your point of departure is writing something - which for a writer/director is sort of where you start, you're really influenced by the writers you love one way or another.”

“The usual key to getting films made seems to be a producer's terrier-like determination not to let it go. Unfortunately, such producers often seem prone to sinking their claws into mediocre projects.”

“Categorizing people economically and hating them because you think they're this way is a prejudice.”

“An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without doubt, the most disturbing of all journeys.”

“I like making stories and characters that people can relate to. I also like giving the audience a departure from whatever they're thinking about in their life and enjoying a show or a movie.”

“Right now, they feel they have lost their voice, and their miseries have increased since my departure.”
