John Huston

The directing of a picture involves coming out of your individual loneliness and taking a controlling part in putting together a small world. A picture is made. You put a frame around it and move on. And one day you die. That is all there is to it.

Hollywood has always been a cage... a cage to catch our dreams.

There's never any telling what you'll say or do next, except that it's bound to be something astonishing. By God, sir, you are a character.
