“The principle factor in my success has been an absolute desire to draw constantly. I never decided to be an artist. Simply, I couldn’t stop myself from drawing. I drew for my own pleasure. I never wanted to know whether or not someone liked my drawings. I have never kept one of my drawings. I drew on walls, the school blackboard, odd bits of paper, the walls of barns.”
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
David O. Russell

Henry Selick
“There’s invention every day. Every day it’s like a feast. It’s very grueling, it’s very demanding. Puppets seem like vampires sometimes. They live, and you’re depleted.”
Hal Roach
“In those days, there was one secret to making a good comedy. If it made the audience laugh, it was a good comedy.”
