一个好的剧本是一部伟大电影的支柱；没有它，即使是最好的导演和表演也会显得平淡无奇。

To be a writer is to sit down at one's desk in the chill portion of every day, and to write; not waiting for the little jet of the blue flame of genius to start from the breastbone.

To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.

The most important thing in directing is to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve.
