Billy Wilder

I have a vast and terrible desire not to bore.
I do not believe in wasting money. On the other hand, nobody is going to go and see a picture simply because it came in under budget.

Make the subtleties obvious.

I’d worship the ground you walked on if only you lived in a better neighborhood. Keep it out of focus. I want to win the foreign-picture award.
