'Quotes are nothing but inspiration for the uninspired'

Whilst I take forever and an age to type up a new offering (let's blame football - Kaka!), I ask what are your favourite quotes on the subject of cinema? And if we concur, they may pop up on the quotes page someday, somewhere, somehow...


'It's all just one film to me. Just different chapters' - Robert Altman.

I do miss his films.

    Oooo, ooo.. I've got another one! I found it by looking at Julianne Moore's page b/c Nathaniel at Film Experience is interviewing her soon.
