Jean Cocteau
“Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail. ”
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
Peter Jackson
“I don't quite know what an auteur is. I've never quite understood that term, because filmmaking is such a huge team effort.”
Jim Jarmusch
“I always start with characters rather than with a plot, which many critics would say is very obvious from the lack of plot in my films - although I think they do have plots - but the plot is not of primary importance to me, the characters are. ”
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.”
Tim Burton
“I've always loved the idea of fairy tales, but somehow I never managed to completely connect with them. What interests me is taking those classic images and themes and trying to contemporize them a bit. I believe folk tales and fairy tales have some sort of psychological foundation that makes that possible.”
