All I mean is that a board of directors is one or two ambitious men--and a lot of ballast. I mean that groups of men are vacuums. Great big empty nothings. They say we can't visualize a total nothing. Hell, sit at any committee meeting. The point is only who chooses to fill that nothing. It's a tough battle. The toughest. It's simple enough to fight any enemy, so long as he's there to be fought. But when he isn't. . . ↗

Most of the time nothing much is required of directors, which is a pity. ↗

It was a movement that had all the art critics, all the museum directors in its thrall. ↗

Having been a child actor, I remember how directors would trick me to get good performances out of me. I don't think you need to do that. ↗
