I Left The Theater; I Literally Left

I Was Not A Collective Person Or A Bohemian; I Was An Elitist.

I Was Born In Turkey In An Extremely Oppressive Climate At The Time Of Pogroms, Massacres, Really. An Immigrant Appreciates The Freedom More.

Some Directors, Like Stevens [george Stevens], Shoot Full Circle, 360 Degrees, And That's What's Right For Them. I Generally Shoot At About A Seven To One Ratio. But Part Of That Is Because I've Worked On Every Screenplay, So I'm Further Along In The Visual Concept.

The First Thing You Should Do With An Actor Is Not Sign A Contract With Him. Take Him To Dinner. And Take Him For A Walk Afterwards.

With Kids You Can Take A Chance But Casting A Guy At 45 Is Different. You Don't Discover Somebody That Age. If An Actor Hasn't Made It By That Time He Probably Has No Talent.
