![“I think a lot of ["Cosmopolitans"] is marked by [Jerome David] Salinger. Salinger wouldn't allow his works to be adapted for film after his experience with "Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut," and I think that's great for us because then we have to do our own Salinger stories.” quote by Whit Stillman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/edb/whit-stillman-16157_adapted_i-think-a-lot-of-cosmopolitans-is-marked_422570.jpg)
