A Film Needs More Than You Can

The Screen Is A Magic Medium. It Has Such Power That It Can Retain Interest As It Conveys Emotions And Moods That No Other Art Form Can Hope To Tackle.

You Know, I Often Thought That The Gangster And The Artist Are The Same In The Eyes Of The Masses. They're Admired And Hero-worshipped But There Is Always Present Underlying Desire To See Them Destroyed At The Peak Of Their Glory.

Nothing Is As Dangerous As A Sure Thing.

I've Never Laid A Cane On The Back Of A Lord Before, But If You Force Me To I Shall Speedily Become Used To The Practice.

From The Very Beginning, All Of My Films Have Divided The Critics. Some Have Thought Them Wonderful, And Others Have Found Very Little Good To Say. But Subsequent Critical Opinion Has Always Resulted In A Very Remarkable Shift To The Favorable. In One Instance, The Same Critic Who Originally Rapped The Film Has Several Years Later Put It On An All-time Best List. But Of Course, The Lasting And Ultimately Most Important Reputation Of A Film Is Not Based On Reviews, But On What, If Anything, People Say About It Over The Years, And On How Much Affection For It They Have.
