Film is not for tender souls, Miss . . . just like art in general. If you insist on showing your soul - which nobody else is interested in, by the way, we are far more interested in your body - you need to have a tough and hard-boiled soul: otherwise it won't work. But I don't think you will achieve any particularly great footage with your little indication of a soul. Let go of your soul without getting bent out of shape. I had to learn it myself, to let go of my inner self. Today I do films; back then I was a poet.
Arnolt Bronnen, 1927

Cinema is what kills the soul.
Walter Bloen, The Soul of Cinema
