Famous quotes containing the words policy and/or actors:

    “Mr. Wiggam, I want you to change the policy of The Clarion. I want you to write a story I should have written myself long ago. I want you to tell the people of San Francisco that no city can exist without law and order. Write a story about that flag, write about what verifies and brings a promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There are some people in this town who don’t seem to know that. Let The Clarion tell them.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    “I was thinking what an interesting concept it is to eliminate the writer from the artistic process. If we can just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we got something here.”
    —Michael Tolkin, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Altman. Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins)
