Famous quotes by John Frankenheimer:

"There are two things I will never do in my life. I will never climb Mount Everest, and I will never work with Val Kilmer again. There isn't enough money in the world."

"It's very eclectic, the way one chooses subjects in the movie business, especially in the commercial movie business. You need to develop material yourself or material is presented to you as an assignment to direct."

"I became kind of like the village blacksmith after the invention of the automobile, ... There just was nowhere to go. Obviously, the next thing for me was directing movies."

"I feel that my job is to create an atmosphere where creative people can do their best work."

"The first thing I can really tell you is I really love the work."

"You have to really work with someone who you think is going to be a collaborator, who you think understands what you want to do with this movie and how you want to do it."

"If you don't cast well, you can be in real trouble."

"One of the first lessons you learn as an actor is to listen."

"One of the other things I think that I've been able to do in my life, is to listen well."

"The accolades usually come when you're dead or too old to get a job."

"I really, really love directing films."

"I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s."

"Casting is 65 percent of directing."

"First, speaking for myself, I don't want to ever be in a position where I'm telling other directors how to make movies, because I don't think it's any of my business."

"To do that I try and keep myself in pretty good shape physically and I try to lead my life in such a way that I'll be able to be as strong at the end of the movie as I am in the beginning."

"I have gotten to a point in my life where I don't want to have dinner with someone I don't like."

"I think all great actors - and I don't classify myself as one of them, incidentally - but I think all great actors listen well and I've learned that from a lot of the very good actors with whom I've worked - to really listen to what people say."

"I think that you can't make a movie without a script. But you also can't make movies without actors. You also can't make movies without technicians. And there has to be just one person in charge of everybody, and to me that one person is the director."
