What Is An Ending? There's No Such

Your Own Ego Is The Only Trap That I Think You Can Fall Into.

Happy Endings Are Absolutely Ludicrous, They're Not True At All. We See The Guy Carry The Girl Across The Threshold And Everybody Lives Happily Ever After -- That's Bullshit. Three Weeks Later He's Beating Her Up And She's Suing For Divorce And He's Got Cancer.

The Oscar For The Films, It'd Be Nice. But I Don't Make Those Kind Of Films, And I Don't Think That Will Ever Happen.

If Something Works For You, You Continue To Do It. I Did A Bunch Of Pictures For 20th Century Fox When Alan Ladd Was Over There, But I Set The Budgets So Low That They'd Approve And I'd Deliver The Film. They Would Have No Say In It, Which Is The Kind Of Arrangement I Liked.

Jazz Has Endured Because It Doesn't Have A Beginning Or An Ending. It's A Moment.
