Personal Quotes (1) When you go to the cinema, you always hope the picture's going to be a great one, but when you pick up a book of short stories or a paperback, you don't necessarily expect it to be a great one. I always hope for more out of the cinema, maybe because there's so much time and money and effort that's gone into it.
