Billy Wilder: "But you see, the thing is that you used a key concept there: that is looking for patterns. Now, you must understand that a man who makes movies and certainly somebody like myself that makes all kinds of movies, works in different styles. I don't make only one kind of movie, like say Hitchcock. Or like Minnelli, doing the great Metro musicals. As a picture-maker, and I think most of us are this way, I am not aware of patterns. We're not aware that "This picture will be in this genre." It comes naturally, just the way you do your handwriting. That's the way I look at it, that's the way I conceive it. … When you see movies, you decide to put some kind of connective theory to them. You may ask me, "Do you remember that in a picture you wrote in 1935, the motive of the good guy was charity; and then the echo in that sentiment reappears in four more pictures. Or, you put the camera...." I'm totally unaware of it. I never think in those terms: "The big overall theme of my œuvre," I say that laughingly. You're trying to make as good and as entertaining a picture as you possibly can. If you have any kind of style, the discerning ones will detect it. I can always tell you a Hitchcock picture. I could tell you a King Vidor picture, a Capra picture. You develop a handwriting, but you don't do it consciously."
