Věra Chytilová

“I have no desire to cuddle my audience.”

Stanley Kubrick

“If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.”

David Lynch

“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”

Woody Allen

“Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.”

Judd Apatow

“It's so difficult to shock America these days.”
