“You don't leave the film alone. You have a new audience, and you have a new medium. Why would you leave it alone? Film is not an antique. It's not a relic. It's not a Leonardo da Vinci. I don't want someone painting over a da Vinci or Rembrandt. But these movies aren't that.” WantFilmAudiencePaintingMediumsAntiquesRelicsLeonardo Author:William Friedkin
“But the audience is right. They're always, always right. You hear directors complain that the advertising was lousy, the distribution is no good, the date was wrong to open the film. I don't believe that. The audience is never wrong. Never.” BelieveFilmAudienceDirectorsDon't BelieveComplainingAdvertisingDistribution Author:William Friedkin
