Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Beatty: (On why he doesn't make more films) I used to say that for me, making a movie was like vomiting. I really did not look forward to it, but after I did it, I felt better. And when I have such a full life, as I do now, the periods of not wanting to vomit grow longer. Because when I vomit and then I'm producing and I'm directing and I'm writing and I'm acting and all of that nonsense, it's sometimes sickening.
