I realized what you could do in motion pictures by surrounding yourself with geniuses.

In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor.

The art of motion pictures is pictorial and language comes a distant second.

Motion pictures are a director's medium. Broadway is a writer's medium. Television is a producer's medium. I picked a medium I could control.

The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.

I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.
