“I'd forgotten what an honest sandwich it is. For those of you not familiar, 'BLT' stands for 'bacon, lettuce, and tomato.' A lot of people think the 'B' stands for 'bread,' and I can understand someone not wanting a lettuce and tomato sandwich. But, the bread is implied in the word 'sandwich.'

“I'm often wary of using the word 'inspiration' to introduce my work -- it sounds too much like a sun shower from the heavens, absorbed by a passive individual enjoying an especially receptive moment. While that may be the case on rare occasions, the reality is usually far more prosaic. Staring at a blank piece of paper, I can't think of anything original.

Others had much better think of the form as being some sort of classical tradition and try to work within it.” ThinkingTryingMindPersonsImportantIdeasDifferentAbleFilmFormHavensTraditionFunctionOriginalsStrikesOriginalityNew IdeasPreoccupation Author:Stanley Kubrick
