William Friedkin Quote
-
Directing is the provenance of younger guys. When I broke into film, I had no specific genius. I was just young. That`s how I did it. The studios feel that movies are all about a youth movement, and they always have. That`s why Orson Welles got to make Citizen Kane (1941) at 25. It`s also why Billy Wilder at the end of his career, when he was smarter, wittier and more energetic than most directors half his age, couldn`t even get a meeting.
