Author: Paul Schrader
«[Paul Schrader breaks into a wheezy cackle as he recalls a conversation he had recently with his fellow director, Robert Altman. As is the wont of two seasoned mavericks, they were discussing the cruel nature of Hollywood.] He was laughing, ... He said, 'Every time you think they've fucked you every way they can, they come up with a new way!'»
