Martin Scorsese at the Oscar Gala 1990

"The challenge is always the same: how to get the vision that's in your head onto the screen. No matter how clearly you know what you want to say, no matter how powerful your intent, no matter how vivid the images in your mind's eye, you still need the combined talents of everyone you're working with to make your vision come true." (Martin Scorsese, the Oscar Gala, 26 March 1990)
