Maybe it's a little ambitious of me to presume that no matter how big the film is, that I can always go down to the shop to buy a pint of milk.

It doesn't matter who you are. What matters is your plan.

You don't step on stage to eat; you go there to be eaten.

I'm an armchair psychologist, I suppose, and I like to kind of sit around and guess and pretend I know what's going on.
