Buck Henry
“I do believe that a lot of directors and writers just lose their edge because they haven't seen anybody or talked to anybody who isn't a kind of replica of themselves for a long period of time. ”
Douglas Reese
“I’m not always fascinated by the complexity of the story or even the visual composition of a film. What fascinates me, and what I love to direct, is the basic simple beauty in the body language of a person. Nothing else resonates with me in such a way.”
Roger Watkins
[on Last House on Dead End Street] "When the film screened in Dallas, a riot followed. In Chicago someone tried to burn the cinema down after it screened. People really reacted harshly to it."
Ruggero Deodato
“When I made Cannibal Holocaust, I put a lot of work into the film, and then it went to sleep for 30 years.”
Jesús Franco
“I feel that cinema should be like a box of surprises, like a magic box. And in that world, anything is allowed to enter, as long as it's always treated with a spirit of 'Pop!'.”
John Cassavetes
“The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.”
Rainer Werner Fassbinder
“It isn't easy to accept that suffering can also be beautiful...it's difficult. It's something you can only understand if you dig deeply into yourself.”
William Castle
“Don’t be embarrassed about opening your mouth and letting rip with all you’ve got, because the person in the seat right next to you, will probably be screaming too!”
Herschell Gordon Lewis
“I see filmmaking as a business and pity anyone who regards it as an art form.”
Richard Kern
“Everything else seemed so pretentious, so we were always trying to do stuff that was totally unjustifiable.”
Andy Warhol
“If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, there I am. There’s nothing behind it.”
George Kuchar
“I get up late after editing ‘til dawn, soil some kitchenware, feed the cats and then go out for exercise so that my mid section doesn’t expand so much when I sit down at the editing bench once again.”
