Martin Ritt's quotes
- I don't have a lot of respect for talent. Talent is genetic. It's what you DO with it that counts.
- [on Paul Newman] A cool sexuality that is unique in the American cinema -- an amused quality and a high promise of sex and danger.
- [on Sally Field] Sally is one of the best, perhaps the best, actress I've ever worked with. Her rushes on Norma Rae (1979) were so good that I found myself crying over some of the more dramatic scenes. She's simply astounding.
- [on Barbra Streisand] She's got the balls of a Russian infantryman.
- I don't need final cut. I only cut the thing once. If they're dumb enough to fool around with it, let 'em do it.
- A film can never be totally successful if it doesn't upset anyone.
