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.”

Brian De Palma

“So I like to try to go back and develop pure visual storytelling. Because to me, it's one of the most exciting aspects of making movies and almost a lost art at this point. ”

 
W120

Sam Peckinpah

“The end of a picture is always an end of a life.”

 
W120

Gaspar Noé

“A lot of people cry at the end of the movie. Some people come out and smoke a cigarette. Some people go for a walk or a cigarette in the middle of the movie. Each person handles the movie as he wants...”

Vincent Gallo

“I constantly try to reinvent my sensibilities and my ideas. I enjoy some of the satisfaction that I get when I feel good about what I've done. But the process is quite lonely and quite painful.”

George A. Romero

“If I fail, the film industry writes me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.”

 
W120

John Carpenter

“In France, I'm an auteur; in Germany, a filmmaker; in Britain, a genre film director; and, in the USA, a bum.”

 
W120

Paul Thomas Anderson

“I'll rebel against powers and principalities, all the time. Always, I will.”

 
W120

Werner Herzog

“It is my duty to direct because the films might be the inner chronicle of what we are, and we have to articulate ourselves. Otherwise we would be cows in the field.”

 
W120

David Lynch

“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”

 
W120

Jean-Luc Godard

“A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. ”

 
W120

Michelangelo Antonioni

“Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.”

 
W120

Stanley Kubrick

“If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.”

 
W120

Sergio Leone

“In my childhood, America was like a religion. Then, real-life Americans abruptly entered my life in jeeps and upset all my dreams.”

 
W120

Martin Scorsese

“Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.”

 
W120

Quentin Tarantino

“I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.”
