It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Leap, and the net will appear.
With Hitchcock I had little relationship. I was called to replace Bernard Herrmann, his favorite composer, in Torn Curtain, after the bitter fight between them.
