Famous quotes by Richard Donner:

"They're a couple of galloping horses, and they were just wonderful and all. You had to pull them back every once in a while and that was about it."

"I had to physically convince the audience that he could fly but, just as important, I had to convince the audience that that man who was playing that role could fly. And I could not believe that Redford or Newman or any of those well-known actors in that role, in blue leotards and a red cape, flying."

"When you make a film, you like to run it with an audience. They tell you you're narrow-minded or subjective, or that seems too long, or that doesn't work."

"Soon it's all going to be digital anyway. It's all going to be saved on a little coin somewhere."

"I had life threats, because people accused me of approaching Brando as God and his son was Jesus. I literally had people saying my blood would run in the streets for doing that."

"It was just the thrill of a lifetime. Brando and Hackman were two of my heroes."

"It's developing a relationship with actors that makes it work."

"In motion pictures, the actor rules. The camera served the actor."

"I was really disappointed that Warner Bros. didn't think highly enough of my film or my filmmaking to ask me to make the new Superman."

"I was tweaked by the idea of Superman immediately."

"I was painting sets, working in editorial as an assistant, driving their trucks, lying that I knew how to drive a truck, and doing commercials and documentaries."

"People say, You paid your dues, but I never paid any dues. It's always been a great trip."

"It was the beginning of film for television. So we had all of these great opportunities. Northwestern was probably the only major film school of its kind at the time that was graduating anybody important."

"When I was doing half-hour shows, I loved it and was preparing myself for the hour shows. Then when I did the hour shows, I was preparing myself for the specials and features."

"It was 1978 when Superman came out, and I kept thinking, Why don't they do something about it? They've done all these crappy attempts at comic book film adaptations. What can we do different? Why don't we just re-release this thing?"

"How was I going to make a man fly? How was I going to convince the public that an actor could fly?"

"Superman was never previewed because the producers didn't trust Warners with the film."

"I think what some people are doing with effects is starting to get silly. It's overused."

"With The Omen, I really felt I wasn't in control. It was panic."

"Working with Christopher, he convinced me he could fly, and he's convinced me he's going to walk again."
