SOME KIND OF MAJESTY
Some kind of nature,
Some kind of soul.
Sound kind of mixture,
Some kind of gold.
Some kind of majesty
Some chemical load.

JANNIS TSIPOULANIS
"There must be a certain look of availability in the women I photograph. I think the woman who gives the appearance of being available is sexually much more exciting than a woman who's completely distant. This sense of availability I find erotic.”
― Helmut Newton, White Women
ART LINSON
"Power is an elusive term, but in Hollywood it's everything, I don't care what they say, you either have it, want it, or you're afraid of losing it."
THE ETERNAL EXECUTIVE
”You’re very unhappy for a long period of time. And you don’t experience joy. At the end you experience relief, if you’re lucky.” -John Calley, accepting the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences near the end of his life.
THE MACHINE
"The thing what you learn in directing is that no matter how complex the shooting, you have to remain sensitive to the people around you or the machine will ultimately take over. If you don't keep in mind the essential humanity of it all, technique will dominate." - Irvin Kerschner
SHOWBUSINESS TODAY
"This business is scrounging around for what to do. The medium is busy displaying the fat lady at 375 pounds (who) in two months is gonna be 240. Who gives a shit? The industry has destroyed themselves. It's no longer relevant because it now puts all of its product on a stupid phone. You're going to put 'Lawrence of Arabia' on that goddamned stupid sonofabitch?"
-Jerry Lewis
