“In activity we must find our joy as well as glory; and labor, like everything else that is good, is its own reward.”
“I work with really hard-working people who are really good at what they do.”
“I would travel down to Hell and wrestle a film away from the devil if it was necessary.”
“The most interesting studio work, and perhaps the most practicable, is painting from pencil sketches and notes... It ensures the elimination of all facts but those essential to the effect.”
“As a cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey.”
“If you've never met a student from the University of Chicago, I'll describe him to you. If you give him a glass of water, he says, 'This is a glass of water. But is it a glass of water? And if it is a glass of water, why is it a glass of water?' And eventually he dies of thirst.”
“Money is both a means and a means to an end.”
“On of the reasons that I wanted to study literature was because it exposed everything. Writers looked for secrets that had never been mined. Every writer has to invent their own magical language, in order to describe the indescribable. They might seem to be writing in French, English, or Spanish, but really they were writing in the language of butterflies, crows, and hanged men.”
