A Creator Always Needs Excuses.

There Is No Such Thing As A Good Paparazzo. A Good Paparazzo, That's A Paparazzo Who Has Had His Camera Broken. In Fact, They Are Bandits, Thieves Of Photography. (statement After Photographs Were Published Showing Jackie Onassis Sunbathing Nude.)

Realism Is A Bad Word. In A Sense Everything Is Realistic. I See No Line Between The Imaginary And The Real.

The Public Has Lost The Habit Of Movie-going Because The Cinema No Longer Possesses The Charm, The Hypnotic Charisma, The Authority It Once Commanded. The Image It Once Held For Us All — That Of A Dream We Dreamt With Our Eyes Open — Has Disappeared. Is It Still Possible That One Thousand People Might Group Together In The Dark And Experience The Dream That A Single Individual Has Directed?

If There Were A Little More Silence, If We All Kept Quiet...maybe We Could Understand Something.

No Critic Writing About A Film Could Say More Than The Film Itself, Although They Do Their Best To Make Us Think The Oppposite.
