"I had been producing, at the time, for twenty years....Additionally it was crystal clear that the motion-picture business was in for a terrible beating from television and other new forms of entertainment, and I thought it a good time to take stock and to study objectively the obviously changing public tastes....Certainly I had no intention of staying away from production for nine years."
Estivera producindo durante vinte anos… ademais, era claro que o negocio do cinema estaba nunha terrible loita coa televisión e outras formas novas de diversión, e pensei que era un bo tempo para parar e estudar obxectivamente os obvios cambios do gusto do público… Certamente non tiña intención de apartarme da produción durante nove anos."
