Famous quotes by Ray Harryhausen:
"Many times I felt like I'd do better than what the director did, but some of them got a little discouraged because they didn't have full charge of making the film, and sometimes there'd be battles of egos."
"I was very limited in what I could do with flying saucers, because they're just a metal disc. I had to try and put character in as if they were intelligently guided."
"That's why I never became a director. I never had patience with people."
"I brought in the stories many times. I don't just do animation."
"I prefer to work alone and do everything alone, even today."
"A lot of people thought my work was very tedious, and it can be if you look at it from that point of view, but I never looked upon it as tedious."
"So our films had a lot more to them than entertainment value, and I'm glad that a lot of people recognize that now. People realize now the value of them as educational."
"I had to learn to do everything because I couldn't find another kindred soul. Now you see eighty people listed doing the same things I was doing by myself."
"I was never restricted. I was never told what to do."
"I was going to Columbia Pictures and Eastman Kodak had a class going for cameramen. I signed up to be a field cameraman. I showed this film to my professor and he showed it to Frank Capra."
