"I have ten commandments. The first nine are, thou shalt not bore. The tenth is, thou shalt have right of final cut."—Billy Wilder

"You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world."―Lucille Ball

"It’s easier to fall in love than to find a good story."—Stanley Kubrick

When Stephen Frears went to Hollywood to make Grifters he met John Huston and said, "Do you have any advice for me?"  "How many days is the shoot?" Huston asked.  Frears said, "Thirty-five."  "Well," said Huston, "that's thirty-five compromises."

"It's not really interesting to me, at least, to set up a camera angle. At some points in the filming you really want to take the camera and break it for no reason except that it's just an interference and you don't know what to do with it....The most difficult part of working on a film like Husbands is that the opinions of the crew really affect the people in front of the screen, and sometimes they don't see anything happening. They get despondent. You can feel them loosen up. You can feel you're losing the thing."—John Cassavetes

"I survived because I was tougher than anybody else."—Bette Davis
