TV series: The last tycoon (The Last Tycoon)

It is impossible to be guide and tell stories about others, when stories and legends have to lay down on you.

Congratulations, Celia, you're quickly becoming a top-notch producer. Second-rate man.

You mean Directors that several days of waiting at the door to your office? Or writers you fire and they die? Or Actresses that Pat has on his Desk? You respect say? You just control the machine. And we're all at the mill. Even Mina. She was not of this world. And just a cog. And I intend to draw your attention to it every fucking time, while people involved in the production of films will not be for you, at least as important as the movie itself. Because you will be very difficult to make movies without us.

Failure is an incentive to work better, George. Failure allows us not to be humiliated.

My father was a carpenter. One day I woke up and saw him standing at the bench and squrit the rear wall of the drawer to paint. I said, "Dad, why paint the back wall of the drawer, her nobody will see?" He said, "I see."
