George Stevens - biography

“I see myself capable of arrogance and brutality...  That’s a fierce thing, to discover within yourself that which you despise the most in others.”

“The audience too should be respected by being presented with a film as they remember it, and for those who have not seen it, as it was intended to be seen.  Anything less is a degradation of the film and its audience.”

“For me it’s absolutely necessary to start from the very beginning.  I can’t think of coming and contributing something anywhere along the line other than the very start.”

“I thought I might say something to newsmen that could be turned into a scandal.”
