Quote of the Day

History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose.

~John Le Carre

Hush little baby, here comes the sandman,
Poppa's gonna buy you a medical plan,
and if that medical plan don't cover your ass,
Poppa's gonna buy you a pregnancy test,
and if that pregnancy test comes out positive,
Well then girl I don't know how the hell we're gonna live,
maybe on your bright ideas?

"I make films for myself. What I express I hope most people will understand. For the rest, well, that's their problem."

"My master in film, Buńuel, was a far greater storyteller than I. It was just that in my films miracles occur on the screen."

"The great innovators have always been fearless... I have fallen off haystacks, out of trees, over cliffs. I have been nearly drowned, shot and hanged. I have been in countless car crashes without getting a scratch. I have been alone in an office with Louis B. Mayer!!"

"Nonconformity; right... I can't remember the last time saw a twenty something kid with a tattoo of an Asian letter on his wrist. You are one wicked free thinker! You want to be a rebel; stop being cool. Wear a pocket protector like he does, and get a hair cut. Like the Asian kids that don't leave the library for a twenty hour stretch. They're the ones that don't care what you think."
-- Gregory House

"Now, what can we say of John Milton's Paradise Lost? It's a long poem, written a long time ago, and I'm sure a lot of you have difficulty understanding exactly what Milton was trying to say. Certainly we know that he was trying to describe the struggle between good and evil, right? Okay. The most intriguing character, as we all know from our reading, was...Satan. Now was Milton trying to tell us that being bad was more fun than being good?...OK, don't write this down, but I find Milton probably as boring as you find Milton. Mrs. Milton found him boring too. He's a little bit long-winded, he doesn't translate very well into our generation, and his jokes are terrible. But that doesn't relieve you of your responsibility for this material. Now I'm waiting for reports from some of you... Listen, I'm not joking. This is my job!"

"Film as dream, film as music - no art passes our conscience in the way film does and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls."

"In Paris, when the picture came out (Casablanca), they weren't too pleased with it. They didn't like the political point of view. The picture was taken off immediately and was never sold to television. A while ago, it was brought in and opened in five theatres in Paris, as a new movie. They had a big gala opening where I appeared and people were absolutely crazy about it."

"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous."

"I began taking liberties a long time ago; now it is standard practice for most directors to ignore the rules."

"Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance."

“The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.”
