“Every time you run a 35mm print, it picks up scratches. It picks up dirt. Sometimes it breaks, and you have to re-splice it. You lose frames. This doesn't happen with digital or Blu-ray. I think that's great. Because I love the new media.” ThinkingSometimesHappensRunningLosesBreakMediaPicksDigitalPrintRaysDirtScratchesNew Media Author:William Friedkin

“The only gay people who remain in the closet are those who choose to, who don't want to publicly declare their sexuality, which is true of heterosexual people as well. I don't walk around with a button or a T-shirt that says "I am a heterosexual." I don't think sexuality defines a person. It's one small part of who you are, in my view. You are many things, and I never felt that people were defined by their sexuality solely. Although God knows, as a minority, gay people have taken serious lumps for their sexual preferences. As has every minority.” PeopleThinkingTakenSeriousGayWho You AreSexualityGod KnowsGay People Author:William Friedkin
