"“When you love life, you go to the movies,” it’s false! It’s exactly the opposite: when you don’t love life, or when life doesn’t give you satisfaction, you go to the movies."

He's like the quintessential student of the (film) game Even if he wasn't as esteemed as the greats (Hitchcock/Kurosawa/Renoir etc) he loved he always seemed like he had so much damn fun. Especially involving cinema's juvenile tendencies He is truly a powerfully vital part of film vocabulary
