Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing. – Robert Bresson
One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life. – Robert Bresson
Films can only be made by by-passing the will of those who appear in them, using not what they do, but what they are. – Robert Bresson
The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night. – Howard Brenton
