Quotes:If you get your head up above the mob, they try to knock it off. If you stay down, you last forever., [on Douglas Fairbanks] Stunt men have had to imitate him and it always looked like a stunt when they did it. With him it always looked right., [On his use of tracking shots throughout his 50 year-long career] There's always a certain amount of camera improvisation. If a man is being pursued and the pursuers are more interesting than the pursued, I'll track to include them. Things would occur on the set and sometimes ahead of time. They turn you loose on the set.
