You know, there are no bad ideas. Only better ones. Let’s not say, “That wouldn’t work” or, “That’s a stupid idea.” If it’s a stupid idea, the rule is we don’t judge, we just keep moving forward until we find the right answer. Okay?
– Stanley Kubrick, quoted in Full Metal Jacket Diary by Matthew Modine
And stop being against something just because it looks “weird.”
– Boris, a fictional film director modeled after Kubrick. Terry Southern, Blue Movie
