The First Really Important Book I Read

I Love Editing. I Think I Like It More Than Any Other Phase Of Film Making. If I Wanted To Be Frivolous, I Might Say That Everything That Precedes Editing Is Merely A Way Of Producing Film To Edit.

I'm Happy - At Times - Making Films. I'm Certainly Unhappy Not Making Films.

Busy People Begrudge The Days Being Short. I Can No Longer Sit Back And Allow Communist Infiltration, Communist Indoctrination, Communist Subversion, And The International Communist Conspiracy To Sap And Impurify All Of Our Precious Bodily Fluids.

You're Constantly Changing Man. But The Film's Not Changing. The Film Stays The Same. That's The Beautiful Aspect Of It.

Everything Has Changed, But The Process Of Telling A Story Has Not Changed. It's Like Cavemen Sitting Around The Fire; Somebody's Going To Tell The Story. Somebody Is Drawing On The Wall. You're Communicating. You're Trying To Learn And Teach At The Same Time. You're Your Own Student And You're Your Own Teacher, But The Process Is Of The Communicating.
