""It doesn't matter - we'll do something else": that's the only way to do pictures, because when you start caring they kill you. When you start saying, "If I don't make this picture I'm going to die," they will make you pay."

Peter Bogdanovich

"To me it's the process that's most important. It's the experience of getting a bunch of friends building this incredible sand castle. You finish it and have a beer and watch the tide come in and pretty soon it's all gone. But it remains in your mind ... But that work you did - the construction of whatever it was - endures only in the minds of people. Mainly yourself."

Robert Altman
