For example, a man who might not have enormous charisma, who could be president 40 years ago, and who was a deserving president, I don't know that George Washington would be a president today, I don't know that Abe Lincoln would, I don't know that Roosevelt would.
From Sydney Pollack
I didn't grow up thinking of movies as film, or art, but as movies, something to do on a Saturday afternoon.
And I taught acting for years, and without knowing it that was the real thing that started bending me toward directing.
No, I never went to college. Always regretted it, always envied people who did.
You don't normally do another presentation of All About Eve. You do one All About Eve, and that's it.
Every single art form is involved in film, in a way.
I didn't believe that I'd ever be lucky enough to be able to make a living as an actor.
Well, the wonderful thing about making movies, oddly enough, is that they're sort of highly motivated graduate studies in one or another field.
You know, essentially when you do a play you're reinterpreting a work of art that already exists. That's not what happens with a movie.
With a movie you're creating from the beginning this particular work, let's not call it work of art, because very few movies are works of art, let's just call them bits of popular culture, whatever they are, sometimes very rarely by accident a movie becomes a work of art.
