To disbelieve is easy; to scoff is simple; to have faith is harder.

You can't fight the desert... you have to ride with it.

When I die, remember that what you knew of me is with you always. What is buried is only the shell of what was. Do not regret the shell, but remember the man. Remember the father.

I've never worked with an actor that I did not like.

I don't like critics; I really don't like them. I think most of them are ignorant and don't have a clue!

Whatever can be useful to those starving millions is beautiful to my mind.

Twenty years from now, there will still be a square screen, maybe even larger, and people will be sitting in a large, dark space, and they won't know each other unless they bring friends along.
