Let's be clear about one thing: a film about Katharine Hepburn is an excellent idea. She was one of the most fascinating, complex stars ever to grace a motion picture screen, and she deserves a full-scale, big-screen biographical treatment.

I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college.
If you think about filmmaking as an entire spectrum, starting with the writer and ending with maybe the marketing department, the actor's contribution is a rather slender band.
Sex is a natural function. You can't make it happen, but you can teach people to let it happen.
I think the job of an original designer is to inspire.
A young man must let his ideas grow, not be continually rooting them up to see how they are getting on.
Terrible and sublime thought, that every moment is supreme for some man and woman, every hour the apotheosis of some passion!
