Dino De Laurentiis

“To be a producer, you must be a gambler.”

“No is a word I don't accept.”

“To make a movie is not a job, it's a way of life.”

“The public is the only critic that matters.”

“Once you have a success, you have to have another success.”

“I make a movie because it's a story I want to tell.”

“A producer is a man who can do everything and nothing. He's a gambler, a psychiatrist, a diplomat, a cook.”

“I saw 'King Kong' when I was a boy and it changed my life.”

“I don't make movies for the critics.”

“If you want to be a producer, get a stenographer and a lawyer... and marry the stenographer.”

“I'm not interested in making a lot of money. I'm interested in making a lot of pictures.”
