arrange directors great others
So many directors say nothing beautifully, and so many others say great and profound things but have no idea how to read a light meter or arrange a shot.
choose eyes humor next open rehearse share
I choose my actors well and get to know the quirks of their personalities - and, most of all, I share humor with them. Then I keep my eyes open when they rehearse and perform, because you never know where the next stimulation comes from.
provincial
You're just poor cornball provincial people, you critics; you just don't know what the hell you're talking about.
anywhere occurred
It never occurred to me that I could live in California. Now I can't imagine living anywhere else.
funny line people teach

We've all been tired and thought we wanted a long vacation when all we needed was a few days off, but didn't know it.
script truth wins
The truth is, a director wins an Oscar for a writer's script and actors' performances.

If she was a victim of any kind, she was a victim of her friends.
work
I work through the actors, and the more successful I am, the less my work is apparent.
anyone looked
Anyone who looked at something special, in a very original way, makes you see it that way forever.
