Quote by Raymond Chandler
The making of a picture ought surely to be a rather fascinating ad

The making of a picture ought surely to be a rather fascinating adventure. It is not; it is an endless contention of tawdry egos, some of them powerful, almost all of them vociferous, and almost none of them capable of anything much more creative than credit-stealing and self-promotion. – Raymond Chandler

Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesnt. – Jean-Luc Godard
