Pieces of Time
Pieces of Time: Peter Bogdanovich On The Movies is a 1973 book by Peter Bogdanovich consisting of a collection of writings by Bogdanovich on film, including pieces he had previously written for Esquire.
The title is taken from a phrase American actor James Stewart spoke in an interview with Peter Bogdanovich in 1966, which appears in the book. It is in the chapter Th' Respawnsibility of Bein' J... Jimmy Stewart, in which Stewart says, "An' that's the thing – that's the great thing about the movies....After you learn – and if you're good and Gawd helps ya and you're lucky enough to have a personality that comes across – then what you're doing is... you're giving people little... little, tiny pieces of time... that they never forget."
