I've worked with an awful lot of people. Katy Hepburn, Spencer Tracy.

That's what I think musicals will come to. No backstage stories, nothing of that sort.

It's the story that counts.

The Pirate is surrealism and so, in a curious way, is Father of the Bride.

I learn new things all the time.

Color can do anything that black-and-white can.

Cedric Gibbons was the grand cardinal of the art department.

I made three films with Douglas, two with Charles Boyer.

Fortunately, John Houseman is a marvelous writer and he sat in on so many story conferences. He worked with Welles, you know, and he's a marvelous man.

It's always the story that interests me.

If anybody reads a story in a magazine or book, different pictures compete in their minds.

But I think musicals are going to have to deal with important subjects.

Designing Woman was written for the screen.

No, I only like whether I like the story or not, essentially see something in it that isn't completely there.

I seem to be drawn to things that actually happen.

I use colors to bring fine points of story and character.

American films are terribly popular all over the world and American movie stars are terribly important. I don't know why.

We shot that in all the real places where Van Gogh worked.

I started out to be a painter and was born into the theater.

West Side Story was terribly important because of the style of the dancing and the gangs of New York.

I see wonderful films by Bertolucci, Visconti, and Fellini.

I've worked with an awful lot of people. Katy Hepburn, Spencer Tracy.

Dali was the great painter then and surrealism was a way of life.

I always have coffee without sugar, you know. Just cream.

I always liked the Van Gogh story because I was terribly involved in that.

I allow an area for improvisation because the chemical things actors bring to stories make it not work.

But I went down to Venezuela and spend a few weeks going through jungles. It's fantastic looking.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.
