Norman Jewison's quotes
- [on working with Rod Steiger on In the Heat of the Night (1967)] I've never seen a man become a role so much. Two weeks after we started the picture, it was almost impossible to talk to [him] because he was in a Southern dialect night and day.
- [on Judy Garland] Judy Garland was the most exciting sheer talent I ever worked with. She was so unpredictable, very child-like, very difficult to work with at times, but the rewards were immense.
- [on Steve McQueen] I can honestly say he's the most difficult actor I've ever worked with.
- [on Cher] Her comic timing is natural and almost infallible. I'll say so even though she nicknamed me "the curmudgeon". Cher thinks all directors are mad and crazy. She's right. of course.
- Directing, in many ways, is manipulation because you're dealing with a lot of egos. You have to manipulate people into thinking it was their idea, to get them to do what you see as being the best, to edit them without their knowing they're being edited.
- [2004] This is not a business you want to lose your confidence in.
