It's A Mistake To Confuse Pity With

I Do Not Always Know What I Want, But I Do Know What I Don't Want.

The Lasting And Ultimately Most Important Reputation Of A Film Is Not Based On Reviews, But On What, If Anything, People Say About It Over The Years, And On How Much Affection For It They Have.

I Haven't Come Across Any Recent New Ideas In Film That Strike Me As Being Particularly Important And That Have To Do With Form. I Think That A Preoccupation With Originality Of Form Is More Or Less A Fruitless Thing. A Truly Original Person With A Truly Original Mind Will Not Be Able To Function In The Old Form And Will Simply Do Something Different. Others Had Much Better Think Of The Form As Being Some Sort Of Classical Tradition And Try To Work Within It.

I'm Just An Old Man And I Smell Bad, Remember?

I'm Not Saying We Wouldn't Get Our Hair Mussed, Mr. President, But I Do Say Not More Than Ten To Twenty Million Dead Depending Upon The Breaks.
