Quotes by Louis Malle

• I didn't feel like going any further in this scene with the boy. He was not a professional actor, and if I had pushed the scene any further it would have destroyed the tone of the movie.
• Well, Fellini... there is always Fellini.
• When you are working on a script, the story itself is not difficult. You say this would happen and then this, resulting perhaps in this. And the dialogue you make as true as you can.
• You must find the note, the correct key, for your story. If you find it, everything will work. If you do not, everything will stick out like elbows.
