Nicholas Ray Quotes

“Film recognizes neither time nor space, only the limits of man's imagination.”

“In the theatre, words are eighty to eighty-five percent of the importance of what is happening to you for your comprehension. In film, words are about twenty percent. It's a different figure, but it's almost an opposite ratio. For the words are only a little bit of embroidery, a little bit of lacework.”

“The imagination is a pretty precious source of protection.”
