Old school. Loves answering questions and is obviously a film fan first. People like him are dying out. Great story tellers, very honest and not selling something or hiding behind a billion dollar brand.

What a filmmaker and what a unique personality he was. Loved his sense of humor and his “tell it like it is” attitude. No BS with this man. He also was a filmmaker willing to take lots of risks. Sometimes they paid off big time and sometimes not. But the point is, he always stayed true to his vision and never compromised. He’s a legend in cinema and I will miss him dearly.<br><br>RIP William Friedkin 🙏🏻

"Most movies should be watched with your emotions...I'm not looking at filmmakers for their philosophy, ideology, or psychology" So good, so true.

William Friedkin is the "teacher" director. He knows a LOT and he demands a lot from those who listen from him - and he is just brilliant.

William Friedkin is a great/underrated and under appreciated Director now. He seriously deserves more love/attention now!
