“When somebody who makes movies for a living - either as an actor, writer, producer or director - lives to be a certain age, you have to admire them. It is an act of courage to make a film - a courage for which you are not prepared in the rest of life. It is very hard and very destructive. But we do it because we love it.”

When I was a kid, I loved 'The Curse of Frankenstein, ' 'The Creeping Unknown, ' 'X: The Unknown.' I love 'Forbidden Planet, ' 'The Thing from Another World.' They were science fiction/horror movies, generally.
I have two different categories of favorite films. One is the emotional favorites, which means these are generally films that I saw when I was a kid anything you see in your formative years is more powerful, because it really stays with you forever. The second category is films that I saw while I was learning the craft of motion pictures.
Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
