"A book and a movie are different animals. You need a cinematic perspective to be involved in the motion pictures. And this is something I lack."

With a good script a good director can produce a masterpiece; with the same script a mediocre director can make a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can’t possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. That is what makes a real movie. The script must be something that has the power to do this.

— Akira Kurosawa
