Years ago the public used to hound me but now I can go shopping in peace

And yet I think The White Cliffs of Dover one of my best films

I always believed in my characters. I lived them

I like the fog that creeps over the whole city every night about five, and the warm protective feeling it gives...and lights of San Francisco at night, the fog horn, the bay at dusk and the little flower stands where spring flowers appear before anywhere else in the country...But, most of all, I like the view of the ocean from the Cliff House.
