George Cukor

The truth is, a director wins an Oscar for a writer's script and actors' performances.

You can always land on your feet if you know where the ground is.

As a professional, it pains me to watch a movie that is botched and amateurish. I prefer directors who have control of both their craft and their ideas.

I think Chelsea Handler is the funniest woman.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.
