I'm Happy - At Times - Making

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.

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.

Like The Man Said, Can Happiness Buy Money?

How Does Anybody Ever Think Of Anything?

When I Made My First Film, I Think The Thing Was Probably Helped Me The Most Was That It Was Such An Unusual Thing To Do In The Early 50s For Someone Who Actually Go And Make A Film. People Thought It Was Impossible. It Really Is Terribly Easy. All Anybody Needs Is A Camera, A Tape Recorder, And Some Imagination.
