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.

In a cornball way, I think being a celebrity is about making a difference, too.

If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?

When the market goes to hell, it's more of an opportunity than a problem.
