- Why doesn't anything good last forever?
- Your films are eternal.
- They're not real. Unlike children...

Society sees nothing because it is kept in a state of deep hypnosis. Never before has a nation been as dark as it is now. A person is not given a chance to stop and comprehend what is happening. Endless series, one dumnier than the other, vulgar variety, lustful or aggressive films, gently affecting the subconscious, cultivate the spirit of selfishness and violence. A normal person in a short period of time turns into an unscrupulous animal that is leading an absolutely meaningless life.

Trisha guessed that in many ways she became much more mature than her older brother.

I'm a happy person. What is happiness? I have a whole life philosophy. Oddly enough, a Hollywood movie pushed me into it. There is such a film, and a very difficult one. He got an Oscar. There, inside the film, a very correct phrase sounded. The professor addresses the students and says: you must set a goal for yourself in life that you can achieve in the longest possible future. And suddenly I realized: this is how it is! An Orthodox person is a priori happy, because he sets a goal for himself in life, about which he does not know whether he will achieve it or not in this life. He sets the goal of saving the soul, and all his life he subordinates to this. Therefore, for him being with God is happiness. And in prison, and in war, and in adversity, and in joy.

This film put an end to my career. Everyone considers me an alcoholic, although in reality I do not like alcohol, and the bath is simply not-on-vie! I have not watched this film for twenty years. This is violence against the viewer when it is shown on New Year's Eve.

Take a look at me. Except me, there is no one else. I'm the last person to say, “You know what? Get better. Not for my sake, but for my work. " If this is a movie, then hold on to me for the rest of your life.

It's not a question of gratitude, it's about your attitude towards me. In the way you see my contribution not only to our relationship, but also to your work. Especially in the movie you made about my life.

- To people sitting in the dark and trusting the screen with all their hearts. We have a huge responsibility.

In this business, the customer gets nothing but memories. What he bought remains with the one who sold it to him. That's where the real magic of cinema is. Do not trust those who say otherwise.

My story is one big circle like a cinnamon bun, not a straight line pointing to the nearest exit. It is impossible to tell the whole life of a person in two hours. You can only leave an impression of it.

Don't belittle yourself, Mr. Mankiewicz. Movies will soon find their voice. Then people who respect the word will come to the fore. The "golden age" is approaching, when the whole world will turn into a theater, and you may become Shakespeare in it.

Maybe happiness is anticipation and aftertaste, and not the taste itself, that is, the moment that flies, and it seems as if you can not taste. And then suddenly happiness pops up in the memories as vivid details. What is strange - living these details, they do not seem as bright as after the passage of time, when the inner artist finishes them, and the picture appears not in its original form, but in its illusory box - you have your own film! But we draw in different ways, so the views of happiness are also often not similar for people.

It is always difficult for us to believe in our own happiness. We are not taught it. They don't even cook. Open any book, film - everywhere the heroes suffer, suffer from betrayal, betrayals and already wounded, with a bleeding soul, they try to live on, look suspiciously at everyone in a row, expecting a new portion of pain. But, of course, then a stubborn person appears on their way, who breaks through the armor and practically makes himself love himself. A similar scheme is being instilled in us under the crust, which is why we subconsciously wait for an persistent subject to appear on our horizon, who will begin to break open the spiritual fortress.
