Leonard Maltin

“The VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston Strangler is to the woman home alone.”

“I am a lifelong movie buff, and I am still a lifelong movie buff.”

“I’ve always felt that the best critics are the ones who are able to articulate their passion for the movies they love.”

“My goal is to be a trustworthy guide.”

“Everybody's a critic.”

“I don't think I'm a star. I'm a knowledgeable guy. I'm a fan of movies.”

“I want to share my enthusiasm.”

“There's a reason they call it 'show business.'”

“The only thing that I am a ‘brand’ for is being a movie lover. That’s it.”

“I grew up in an age where I was a second-class citizen. I was a movie fan. And movie fans were weird.”

“The idea of a consensus critic is gone.”

“I'm not a collector. I don't keep a lot of stuff.”
