“Musicians have notes. Painters have paint. Writers have words.”
“For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.”
“A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.”
“Words to a writer is like notes to a musician, both know when they are off key.”
“I don't think painters have the answers about a painting except the painting itself. Anyway, a painting has to have some kind of mystery to it to make it work.”
“A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.”
