You see Michelangelo and Picasso and you read literature. I had some innate inchoate yearning for that, but I never really saw where I would fit in. That’s called art. And then something happened to pop music, which is that it became art under the hand of the Beatles, the Stones, and Bob Dylan and some other people. David Chase Read Quote
Your father tells you a story when you’re a kid, or your mother or your uncle or whoever it is.

You just can’t believe that things can happen like that – but it’s just so direct. David Chase Read Quote

When I was a kid, I used to watch ‘Laurel and Hardy’ with my cousins all the time. I still think they’re extremely funny and so surreal. David Chase Read Quote
There’s something very dreamlike about film, and I will always be very fascinated by that, and I’m always tempted to go in that direction. David Chase Read Quote
Hitchcock was one of the few people in Hollywood who had a brand. Every movie he made was an Alfred Hitchcock movie, couldn’t have been anyone else. David Chase Read Quote
