It is a rule in paleontology that ornamentation and complication precede extinction. And our mutation, of which the assembly line, the collective farm, the mechanized army, and the mass production of food are evidences or even symptoms, might well correspond to the thickening armor of the great reptiles—a tendency that can end only in extinction. If this should happen to be true, nothing stemming from thought can interfere with it or bend it. Conscious thought seems to have little effect on the action or direction of our species. ↗

No producer should revive a play unless they have a very good reason for it. I think there's quite enough about a good play to make it available to new audiences. ↗

Neither Rainer Werner, nor any of us could have succeeded, or produced the number of films that we did, just on our own. We showed our films to each other, discussed them vigorously and rarely agreed. ↗

I continued writing the bad plays which fortunately nobody would produce, just as no one did me the unkindness of publishing my early novels. ↗

One good thing about California is we have quite a broad-based economy. We provide more fruits and vegetables and produce to the United States than any other state. So we have actually the single largest agricultural sector in the country. ↗

I tend not to like an awful lot of what is going out under my name now because it is just all product. Who needs it? ↗
