“It was a pity that movies and live TV left New York for Hollywood. London theater, movies, television - until (Britain's) money ran out - were always better than ours since the city was the political capital of the country, as well as the artistic and literary one. In L.A. we've always been slightly sealed off from real life. It's no accident that two of our most interesting directors, Woody Allen and Bob Altman, are more or less settled in the real world.” WorldWellsTwoRealCountryPoliticalLeftInterestingCitiesNew YorkTelevisionTvsDirectorsHollywoodTheaterAccidentsLondonReal LifePityArtisticRanBritainReal WorldBobMost InterestingWoodyLive Tv Author:Gore Vidal
“In the the late seventies and early eighties, I played background roles in thirty movies... Woody Allen movies, Scorsese films, you name it.

“Martin Scorcese is probably America's greatest living director, and while he is not a titan like John Ford or Alfred Hitchcock or Federico Fellini, he is certainly consistently more interesting than Steven Spielberg, Brian de Palma, Francis Ford Coppola or Woody Allen. Even a failure like Gangs of New York or a curiosity like The Aviator is more interesting and ambitious than Munich, The Black Dahlia or Scoop.” AmericaBlackInterestingNew YorkDirectorsCuriosityAmbitiousConsistentlyGangWoodyBrianHitchcockTitansAviatorMunichDahlias Author:Joe Queenan
