Preston Sturges Quotes
“I did all my directing when I wrote the screenplay.  It was probably harder for a regular director.  He probably had to read the script the night before shooting started.”

“I suppose they’re like the I.R.S.  You move once and they never send you your refund check.”

“You can’t go around the theatres handing out cards saying, ‘It isn’t my fault’.  You go onto the next one.”
