My filmmaking education consisted of finding out what filmmakers I liked were watching, then seeing those films. I learned the technical stuff from books and magazines, and with the new technology you can watch entire movies accompanied by audio commentary from the director. You can learn more from John Sturges' audio track on the "Bad Day at Black Rock" laserdisc than you can in 20 years of film school. Film school is a complete con, because the information is there if you want it. ~Paul Thomas Anderson

It is better to conceal one's knowledge than to reveal one's ignorance. ~Spanish Proverb

The greatest parts, without discretion as observed by an elegant writer, may be fatal to their owner; as Polyphemus, deprived of his eyes, was only the more exposed on account of his enormous strength and stature. ~Joseph Addison

The idea of atomic energy is illusionary but it has taken so powerful a hold on the minds, that although I have preached against it for twenty-five years, there are still some who believe it to be realizable. ~Nikola Tesla

Sometimes to keep it together you have got to leave it alone. ~Don Henley

The inspector ate only two of my tiny sandwiches: the first because he had'nt expected it to taste so awful; the second, I think, because he'd thought surely the first must have been a mistake. ~Karen Marie Moning
