I Always Felt The World Cannot Fall

I Have A Sixth Sense For Casting. I Just Have To See And Talk To The Actors. I Never Make Tests. I Like To Work With Crowds. I Like To Get The Principals In A Crowd. When They Do, Something Else Comes Off, Something Special.

If The Audience Gets Everything, If They See The Photography And Notice That It Is Good, Then The Story Goes Out The Window, But If You Become Involved With The Lives Of The Actors And Forget That You Are Seeing Mechanical Devices On A Huge Screen - Forget The Make-believe - This Is The Job Of The Director To Involve The Audience With The Actors.

The Oscar Is The Most Valuable, But Least Expensive, Item Of World-wide Public Relations Ever Invented By Any Industry.

My Films Must Let Every Man, Woman, And Child Know That God Loves Them, That I Love Them, And That Peace And Salvation Will Become A Reality Only When They All Learn To Love Each Other.

There's Music In My Films But You Seldom Hear It. Very Early I Got The Idea That The Important Things In Films Were People - The Actors. They Are The Intermediary Between The Director And The Audience. They Make Direct Contact. People To People Communication.
