Quote #168

We get advance reactions to our movies at previews and if the women's reaction is good, I feel fine. If it is adverse, I begin to worry. I feel women are more honest about this than men. The men are more sentimental in one way - that is, they will sit there with tears streaming down their faces and will then come out and say 'Mfff.' They won't admit it, because they are more cynical or shy or think it unmanly to show their sentiment. But the children, of course, are the most honest of all.
