So Much Of The Art Of Film

Sound Is Your Friend Because Sound Is Much Cheaper Than Picture, But It Has Equal Effect On The Audience - In Some Ways, Perhaps More Effect Because It Does It In A Very Indirect Way.

If You're Not Allowed To Experiment Anymore For Fear Of Being Considered Self-indulgent Or Pretentious Or What Have You, Then Everyone's Going To Just Stick To The Rules - There's Not Going To Be Any Additional Ideas.

I Just Finished A Film A Few Days Ago, And I Came Home And Said I Learned So Much Today. So If I Can Come Home From Working On A Little Film After Doing It For 45 Years And Say, "i Learned So Much Today," That Shows Something About The Cinema. Because The Cinema Is Very Young. It's Only 100 Years Old.

Listen, If There's One Sure-fire Rule That I Have Learned In This Business, It's That I Don't Know Anything About Human Nature.

I Realized I Probably Wouldn't Make Another Film That Cuts Through Commercial And Creative Things Like 'godfather' Or 'apocalypse.'
