We must ‘keep up with things,’ of course, but with the whole wide world - not just the movies. We must find out what we can about this place we’re living in - this place in time - but we’ve got to be awfully careful, it seems to me, never to make ourselves too perfectly a part of it.
Modishness is the sure sign of the second-rate. We’re finally to be judged not by the degree of our involvement in the mainstream, but by our individual response to it.
