'When I write plays, I write what I like watching when I'm sitting out there. Movies, on the other hand, are written from something in my mind's eye that keeps running. The movie was written with me sitting down in front of a yellow pad, writing down picture by picture what was going to be on the screen. . . . I see all the shots and write what I see.'

-- Charles Fuller
