The pattern of a newspaperman's life is like the plot of 'Black Beauty.'

Many viewers may come out of the theater not satisfied, but they won't be able to forget the movie. I know they'll be talking about it during their next dinner. I want them to be a little restless about my movies, and keep trying to find something in them.
No one can stop me from talking about my movie.
