Chaplin is no businessman

I'm exhausted from not talking.

Good movies are what I wait my whole life for.

If Roosevelt were alive he'd turn in his grave.

I don't pay attention to him. I don't even ignore him.

I'm sick of the old cliches. Bring me some new cliches.

My parents were self-made people, and they were a team.

This business is dog eat dog and nobody is gonna eat me.

All the audience cares about is what you put up on the screen.

There's no formula for success in this business. You just do the best you can.

I vicariously lived the life of an independent producer from the time I was 4 years old.

My father was a gambler. My father could not resist a casino or a card game. He loved gambling.

Good luck is often with the man who doesn't include it in his plans. The harder I work, the luckier I get.

It was hard for my father to read; it took him a long time, but he had tremendous retention and tremendous appreciation for writing.

My father was not comfortable working with very articulate people. He and Willie Wyler got along because neither of them was very articulate.

Some of the regrets I've had about my own career are things I have not done that I should have done. More than some of the things that I've done.

My father believed strongly, and taught me, that you can't let yourself get too high on a success or too low on a failure. In this volatile business, that's useful to know.
