“What are they doing, examining last month's costs with a microscope when they should be surveying the horizon with a telescope?

[Acerbic comment about directors of Brunner Mond, where he worked.]”
Francis Arthur Freeth

Melissa Silverstein
“One of the common themes you will read in interview after interview is the call to keep fighting for your vision. This is a message to women directors, producers, writers—anyone who wants to work in the business. Your voice counts. Your vision matters.”
Melissa Silverstein, In Her Voice: Women Directors Talk Directing
