Conrad Hall Art Quotations

But you still have an awesome responsibility, because you are helping to create something which might influence the thinking of millions of people.

The truth is that every experience, every feeling, every film you see, becomes part of the sensibilities you apply to making a movie.

I just wanted to try directing, and the best way was to write the material, so I was imbued with its origins when I was dealing with the actors.

My first semester, I got a D in creative writing.

I realize that every picture isn't a work of art.
