QUOTES
Mentor
Huebner, drawing and designing at top speed, while working on
the Warner Bros. film, "Love Affair", prompted Producer/Director
Warren Beatty to enthusiastically exclaim, "You're one 'F
*****g' good artist."
Some quotes on this site are repeated as remembered from the
many told to me at the end of the very day they had been spoken.
Since I'm known for having an excellent memory and since many
of the quotes repeated here were also 'overheard' by others, and
since too, Mentor though 'artful' was a straight forward guy -
they are believed to be quite true.
However since these are 'Third Party' quotes
From "Quote-or" - to Mentor - to me
They may be paraphrased - a little.
It is not likely, to use a cliche',
that they could "Hold up in court"

Probably
all the "Trust me" promises that
had been made to Mentor were intended to be kept. But you
know, like they say, "Things happen!"
Although all the Quote-ors were seemingly sincere, the only
promise that actually did get kept was the one made by Mentor
to Rafaella. He did indeed find a lot to do with his Saturdays
while he was in Rome.
As to the time limits placed on those particular locations, promised
by both Dino and Rafaella, mulitply them ten times over.
Did Roman find Tahiti? Who knows" He's in Paris
now.
