“On March 11, 1980, Steven Bach was given some shocking news: Andy Albeck told him that David Field had handed in his resignation and was going to 20th Century Fox. It was announced in the press as being for the usual boilerplate “personal reasons.” But everyone at Fox soon learned the real reason for his fleeing United Artists (once principle photography had finally wrapped on Heaven’s Gate)… DAVID FIELD: “Everyone thought it was because of Heaven’s Gate. In fact, it was because I could not go on working with Steven Bach.”

“Remember this: a simple pen is much more swift and much more precise than a camera. That's my advice to both beginning and experienced authors: don't write with a camera. A camera is slow. All these modern writers usually make the same mistake - they write books with a film in mind. When you read their works, you don't hear the voice of a real author, you hear that horribly cheesy Hollywood voice-over. Frankly, that's not a novel, it's a movie script. If you write books, use a pen. A pen is swift, it has tempo, you can kill people with it. You cannot kill people with a camera, you can only perhaps bore them to death with it.”
