“I hate cheap pictures. I hate pictures that make people look like theyre not worth much, just to prove a photographers point. I hate when they take a picture of someone pickin their nose or yawning. Its so cheap. A lot of it is a big ego trip. You use people as props instead of as people.”
—Jill Freedman (b. 1939)
“There is no one kind of thing that we perceive but many different kinds, the number being reducible if at all by scientific investigation and not by philosophy: pens are in many ways though not in all ways unlike rainbows, which are in many ways though not in all ways unlike after-images, which in turn are in many ways but not in all ways unlike pictures on the cinema-screenand so on.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“Sam Goldwyn said, Howm I gonna do decent pictures when all my good writers are in jail? Then he added, the infallible Goldwyn, Dont misunderstand me, they all ought to be hung. Mr. Goldwyn didnt know about hanged. Thats all there is to say.”
—Dorothy Parker (18931967)
