Personal Quotes

[on Walter Matthau] He looks like a half-melted rubber bulldog.

[on Jean-Luc Godard] Since Godard's films have nothing to say, perhaps we could have 90 minutes silence instead of each of them.

[on Barbra Streisand) A full-screen close-up of Miss Streisand is a truly terrifying experience; as the camera moves closer and closer you know what Sir Edmund Hillary [who successfully climbed Mt. Everest] must have felt.
