THREE VIEWS
"A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission
and the babysitter were worth it."
~HITCHCOCK
"When you are working on a script, the story itself is not difficult.
You say this would happen and then this, resulting perhaps in this.
And the dialogue you make as true as you can."
~MALLE
"I always like to think of it as like, I've got 'em sittin' there,
whip a little message at 'em. Whip a little moral at 'em.
Whip a little of what my view of the world is.
Because that's what every good filmmaker does.
You can't change the world. You can't cure the world.
All you can do is be like, This is it through my eyes.
Do you agree or not agree?"
~SMITH

FROM THE MORNING by Nick Drake
A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around.
So look see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning.
And now we rise
And we are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
And see she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around
So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learned
From the morning.
MYSTERY OF PICASSO
THE PLAUSIBLE DISAPPEARS
"I live alone, entirely alone. I never speak to anyone, never; I receive nothing, I give nothing… When you live alone you no longer know what it is to tell something: the plausible disappears at the same time as the friends. You let events flow past; suddenly you see people pop up who speak and who go away, you plunge into stories without beginning or end: you make a terrible witness. But in compensation, one misses nothing, no improbability or story, each too tall to be believed in cafes."
~Jean-Paul Sartre

GET THE PICTURE ?
"A picture shows me at a glance what it takes
dozens of pages of a book to expound."
~Ivan Turgenev
"Un bon croquis vaut mieux
qu'un long discours."
~Napoleon Bonaparte
"Pictures are better than words because
some words are big and hard to understand."
~Peter Griffin
STUMBLING-BLOCK OF THE UNCERTAIN
"There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick."
~Robert A. Heinlein
"If isolation tempers the strong, it is the stumbling-block of the uncertain."
~Paul Cezanne
"A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong."
~Orson Welles
