    • Stanley Kubrick: How could we possibly appreciate the Mona Lisa if Leonardo had written at the bottom of the canvas: 'The lady is smiling because she is hiding a secret from her lover.' This would shackle the viewer to reality, and I don't want this to happen to 2001.
    • Stanley Kubrick: A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.
