"The more fully I grasp not just how a character behaves, but why he behaves, the more I find that my patience with people and my understanding of them grows. I seldom get mad." -Jack Lemmon
"My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water." - Robert Bresson
