Quotes from the same author

All you can do is learn the skills of movies. Neither colleges nor anyone else can teach you creativity. They can teach you abilities to work with - you know how to use the gifts you've been born with.

Man must be able to recover, to win out, triumph over adversity. And I don't mean just the little adversity like paying his room rent or something. But those deep, deep human adversities because something he has faith in has turned to ashes. Where someone he loves turns out to be just another joke. You get to the point of suicide. But you can bounce back - they can't completely destroy you.
 Frank Capra
I was the enemy of the major studio. I believed in one man - one film. I believed one man should make the film. And I believed the director should be that one man.

 Frank Capra

 Frank Capra
