In California they like ordtak

en In California, they like to pigeonhole you. From the time I began working for Hitchcock, they decided I was a big suspense man. On other occasions, I've had fantasies of bittersweet romantic stories. I think I'd enjoy writing a good comedy score, but I've never had the luck to be offered such films. Mancini gets the cheerful ones.

en [It's a model that Alfred Hitchcock drew on for many of his movies.] If there was a film that inspired me in writing 'Panic,' it was 'North by Northwest,' ... Those are my favorite Hitchcock films -- the ones where ordinary, everyday people are going about their lives, and they take this dramatic left turn.

en He's the equal of Hitchcock in building mood and suspense, a little less obvious than Hitchcock, a little more subtle, a little more intellectual. It was perfect.

en I enjoy co-writing. I've been co-writing for a long time now. I'm sure the pendulum will swing back to writing alone. For the moment I just enjoy working with someone else.

en It's a romantic comedy and I chose Omar to direct it because I have watched his films and they are great.

en Music has always helped my films. In 'The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion,' you can hear 'Sunrise' by Glenn Miller, an idol of my childhood, in the surprise ending. I like mixing comedy with suspense and action.
  Woody Allen

en Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.
  Alfred Hitchcock

en When I first began publishing, I was writing short stories and novels about subjects that only men were writing about -- violence and men's lives,
  Joyce Carol Oates

en I had been offered a couple of things but had turned them down, ... They weren't my kind of films. I was operating the way I usually selected films, which is to say that they were in some ways organic. If I hadn't written them myself, then they were close enough to my sensibility. Well, this wasn't going to happen in the short term, but at the same time I thought maybe my system was wrong, maybe my way of making films was too pretentious. So I called my agents and said, `Could you just get me a go picture?' You know, one of these green-lit films. Along came three films, and one of them was `Witness.'

en I decided that now is the time to start doing the things that really interest me and I find important. It was in the 10 years of the MacArthur grant that I began working on my first book... and I began putting more work into environmental history.

en Often times, finding a serious idea that can be the foundation of a romantic comedy can be the difference between something that flies off like so many spinning plates or something that has some emotional weight underneath it. It also leads to the kind of actor that you can get for that role. What is often the case in a standard romantic comedy is that it's all about the-girl-and-the-boy-is-kind-of-fun vibe, but with this, you could go for an actor of real depth. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor.

en Music always comes first in everything that I've been involved with. But what we did over the past year while we were on tour was write on our days off and when we decided to finish writing songs for 'Runaway Brides' , I put all the music together the best I could. Then London [ LeGrand , vocals] had all the music for about a month. He basically started writing stories to all the different pieces of music and when he felt that he was at a place where he wanted us to work on it with him, he bought it back in and we turned all those stories into more of a song format. That was a little different. It was something new for me doing it that way. It's a little bit more artistic in the end.

en I, you know, am all over the place -- every category of pictures I have made, good, bad or indifferent. I could not make, like Hitchcock did, one Hitchcock picture after another. . . . I wanted to do a Hitchcock picture, so I did "Witness for the Prosecution," then I was bored with it, so I moved on.
  Billy Wilder

en I really enjoy his comedy. He reminds me a great deal of good British comedy actors.

en Destination was trying to be like New Line Cinema used to be, producing and distributing lower-middle budget films. But they didn't have real good luck with their films, either critically or at the box office.
