#Directors Quotes

“The difference between golf and government is that in golf you can't improve your lie.”
“My son tried to work in films and he ultimately gave it up, he finally couldn't make a living, he couldn't support himself. He worked all the time and he didn't make enough money to have a house, have an apartment.”
“Philosophy gets on my nerves. If we analyze the ultimate ground of everything, then everything finally falls into nothingness. But I have decided to resume my lectures again and look the Hydra of doubt straight into the eye, and it be quite ominous if one values one's life.”
“It is far easier to be a Christian in isolation than it is to live out oneâ€™s faith in the context of all those other imperfect people who make up Godâ€™s church.”

“When I ask to photograph someone, it is because I love the way they look and I think I make that clear. I'm paying them a tremendous compliment. What I'm saying is, I want to take you home with me and look at you for the rest of my life.”
“Saddam Hussein's trial would not be public since he could name countries and persons whom he gave money.”
“I hate climbers like Royal Robbins who are so superior. He doesnâ€™t mean to be, he just is. Heâ€™s methodic, scientific, capable, and so competent it makes me envious. I was climbing with some hotshot Brit in Yosemite once, and he said, â€˜My God, Harding, you canâ€™t do anything!â€™ I said, â€˜I know, but I can do it forever.â€™”
“Perhaps you know some well-off families who do not seem to suffer from their riches. They do not overeat themselves; they find occupations to keep themselves in health; they do not worry about their position; they put their money into safe investments and are content with a low rate of interest; and they bring up their children to live simply and do useful work. But this means that they do not live like rich people at all, and might therefore just as well have ordinary incomes.”
