“If you’re not a successful artist it’s your fault.”

We feel that what’s too far is when you make a joke and somebody gets hurt.

We wanted to do a sequel with Jim and Jeff. They said that the word was that Jim didn’t want to do any sequels. We approached him and he said he would do it, but not until next year. New Line said it was too long to wait.

I think that’s the key to being a director: to be able to get the shot and move on quickly.

The French believe that all errors are distant, someone else’s fault. Americans believe that there is no distance, no difference, and therefore that there are no errors

My general plan is good, though in the detail there may be faults.

We don’t necessarily stand by our faults every time, but we will always stand by our methodologies and ethos.

We communicate happiness to others not often by great acts of devotion and self-sacrifice, but by the absence of fault-finding and censure, by being ready to sympathize with their notions and feelings, instead of forcing them to sympathize with ours.

We are great and our faults are great and therefore our problems great and great are our consolations.

A rich man’s faults are covered with money, but a surgeon’s faults are covered with earth.

Parents are often at fault, but the kids have some work to do, too.

If, however, we look at people from the standpoint of their faults, then being a friend to them is a formidable task.hus is it incumbent upon us, when we direct our gaze toward other people, to see where they excel, not where they fail.
