I've been asked a great deal about the influence I've had with my work and it's impossible to say, you know.

When you talk about war on poverty it doesn't mean very much; but if you can show to some degree this sort of thing then you can show a great deal more of how people are living and a very great percentage of our people today.

You have to study a great deal to know a little.

It's a little bit like my inability to read a guide book before I go anywhere. I can read it after I've been there and by the same logic I refuse to accept any technical stunts from anybody. I refused to learn more than I knew and I confess I missed a great deal.

I've experienced a great deal of, you know, ostracism from the making of films.

You can forgive yourself a great deal.
