Sailing Quotes

In the end, you as a director, of course, are the captain on the ship. You have to say, "Well, we're sailing to the left and not to the right." But, you always have to listen to everyone, because I'm not always right and other people have great ideas, too. I think that makes great moviemaking.

The snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill;

Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing;
The rain is over and gone.
