An Artist Must Either Give

When A Picture Can't Make It On Its Own, The Producers Pull In A 'controversial' Message - The Way A Couple Whose Marriage Is Falling Apart Decide To Have A Baby.

Television As We Have It Isn't An Art Form - It's A Piece Of Furniture That Is Good For A Few Things.

At The Movies, We Are Gradually Being Conditioned To Accept Violence As A Sensual Pleasure. The Directors Used To Say They Were Showing Us Its Real Face And How Ugly It Was In Order To Sensitize Us To Its Horrors. You Don't Have To Be Very Keen To See That They Are Now In Fact Desensitizing Us.

In The Arts, The Critic Is The Only Independent Source Of Information. The Rest Is Advertising.

If I Never Saw Another Fistfight Or Car Chase Or Doberman Attack, I Wouldn't Have Any Feeling Of Loss. And That Goes For Rottweilers, Too.
