Who said “The words ''Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,'' which I saw on an Italian movie poster, are perhaps…”?

“All you need for a movie is a gun and a girl.”

“There is only one thing that can kill the Movies, and that is education.”

“You should look straight at a film; that's the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”

“All television ever did was shrink the demand for ordinary movies. The demand for extraordinary movies increased. If any one thing is wrong with the movie industry today, it is the unrelenting effort to astonish.”

“People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television -- you don't feel anything.”

“In the arts, the critic is the only independent source of information. The rest is advertising.”

“Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.”

“Watching old movies is like spending an evening with those people next door. They bore us, and we wouldn't go out of our way to see them; we drop in on them because they're so close. If it took some effort to see old movies, we might try to find out which were the good ones, and if people saw only the good ones maybe they would still respect old movies. As it is, people sit and watch movies that audiences walked out on thirty years ago. Like Lot's wife, we are tempted to take another look, attracted not by evil but by something that seems much more shameful -- our own innocence.”

“One of the surest signs of the Philistine is his reverence for the superior tastes of those who put him down.”
