“Although human beings are incapable of talking about themselves with total honesty, it is much harder to avoid the truth while pretending to be other people. They often reveal much about themselves in a very straightforward way. I am certain that I did. There is nothing that says more about its creator than the work itself.”
― Akira Kurosawa, Something Like an Autobiography
Something Like an Autobiography (1982) is the memoir of Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa
