  - Whit Stillman
  

• ‟ I can fake decent penmanship, but generally, it's really just terrible. And, unfortunately for me, maybe fortunately for the reader, it's very often illegible. If I get an idea, and if I do remember to write it down, which is rare, I write in such a way that I can't read a letter.

  - Whit Stillman
  

• ‟ The great thing for me is how Hitchcock uses guilt so well. He implicates the spectator in the character's field, and you really feel it, and there's incredible relief when it comes out right - if it does come out right.

  - Whit Stillman
  

• ‟ My whole career, only one person has stepped up to back me. All these people say they like your films. They say this and they say that, but no one actually does anything.
