Michael Haneke
“Every film is manipulative, raping the viewer. So the question is: Why do I rape the viewer?”
Howard Hawks
“I'm a storyteller - that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move! ”
David Cronenberg
“Anybody who comes to the cinema is bringing their whole sexual history, their literary history, their movie literacy, their culture, their language, their religion, whatever they've got. I can't possibly manipulate all of that, nor do I want to.”
Danny Boyle
“There's a certain truth that you do end up making the same film again and again so if you vary the genre you have a chance of breaking that cycle.”
Clint Eastwood
“...in America, instead of making the audience come to the film, the idea seems to be for you to go to the audience. They come up with the demographics for the film and then the film is made and sold strictly to that audience. Not to say that it's all bad, but it leaves a lot of the rest of us out of it. To me cinema can be a much more friendly world if there's a lot of things to choose from.”
Woody Allen
“Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.”
Gus Van Sant
“I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.”
Christopher Nolan
“I think audiences get too comfortable and familiar in today's movies. They believe everything they're hearing and seeing. I like to shake that up.”
