I don't want realism

"No quiero realismo. Quiero... ¡magia! (Mitch riendo) ¡Sí, sí, magia! Trato de darle eso a la gente. Le tergiverso las cosas. No le digo la verdad. Le digo lo que debiera ser la verdad. ¡Y si eso es un pecado, que me condenen por él! ¡No encienda la luz!"

"I don't want realism. I want magic! [Mitch laughs] Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be truth. And if that is sinful, then let me be damned for it! - Don't turn the light on!"
