The Truth Is In The Mystery.

If I Were To Write Anything At All, It Would Turn Out To Be Nothing But Talk About Movies. In Other Words, Take 'myself,' Subtract 'movies,' And The Result Is 'zero.'

The Characters In My Films Try To Live Honestly And Make The Most Of The Lives They've Been Given. I Believe You Must Live Honestly And Develop Your Abilities To The Full. People Who Do This Are The Real Heroes.

I Have No Idea Who The Characters Are, Later, Their Personalities Take Over Anything I Might Want To Do. I End Up Writing Not From My Own Will, But From Theirs-they Come Alive As I Write And Make Me Do Things That I Couldn't Have Planned.

Page 61: No Matter Where I Go In The World, Although I Can't Speak Any Foreign Language, I Don't Feel Out Of Place. I Think Of Earth As My Home. If Everyone Thought This Way, People Might Notice Just How Foolish International Friction Is And The Would Be Put An End To It.

The Films An Audience Really Enjoys Are The Ones That Were Enjoyable In The Making. Yet Pleasure In The Work Can’t Be Achieved Unless You Know You Have Put All Of Your Strength Into It And Have Done Your Best To Make It Come Alive. A Film Made In This Spirit Reveals The Hearts Of The Crew.
