[On John Wayne] The drunker he got the more he wanted to punch me out.

Notes from Wikiquote

Wayne, who described Jewison as "the Canadian Pinko", had taken a dislike to the film director because of his Cold War satire, The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966).

More quotes by Norman Jewison

So many aspects of our life have disappeared from movie screens [...] And they're now appearing on cable.

I don't make social statements in my pictures [...] though I do feel a film should be about something—that it have a raison d'etre. It should not shy away from social problems.

For me, films are about ideas [...] Every director should ask himself, 'Why am I making this picture?' And if you can't answer that, you shouldn't make it.
