Ten Days That Shook The World, by Eisenstein, I went to see it, and I was so impressed with this film, so impressed with what cinema could do.
From Francis Ford Coppola
Roger Corman exploited all of the young people who worked for him, but he really gave you responsibility and opportunity. So it was kind of a fair deal.
I landed a job with Roger Corman. The job was to write the English dialogue for a Russian science fiction picture. I didn't speak any Russian. He didn't care whether I could understand what they were saying; he wanted me to make up dialogue.
I became quite successful very young, and it was mainly because I was so enthusiastic and I just worked so hard at it.
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 bring to my life a certain amount of mess.
When newspapers started to publish the box office scores of movies, I was horrified. Those results are totally fake because they never include the promotion budget.
I used to love going into local hardware stores, to look at little things they made locally. Nowadays it's harder, though you can still do it in Vietnam.
Most filmmakers can't afford to try something out that doesn't work.
We do things for good reasons that are bad.
