I have been, or seemed, hard with everyone because I was carried away by a sort of brutality born of my distrust in myself and my ill-humor.

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
#quotes #paul-thomas-anderson #film

Here's the thing, for me at least: this is a huge genre now. It wasn't always so. Not so many years ago, it wasn't so. There is a tremendous diversity in fantasy today. ~R. A. Salvatore
