You've got to love something enough to kill it.

Death comes in a flash, and that's the truth of it, the person's gone in less than 24 frames of film.

If everything moves along and there are no major catastrophes we're basically headed towards holograms.

The term 'giant' is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits.
Martin Scorsese
