I made some mistakes in drama. I thought the drama was when the actors cried. But drama is when the audience cries. – Frank Capra
In our film profession you may have Gables looks, Tracys art, Marlenes legs or Lizs violet eyes, but they dont mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage. – Frank Capra
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesnt. – Jean-Luc Godard
One of the curious things about censorship is that no one seems to want it for himself. We want censorship to protect someone else; the young, the unstable, the suggestible, the stupid. I have never heard of anyone who wanted a film banned because otherwise he might see it and be harmed. – Edgar Dale
