Akira Kurosawa
“Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied...that's why they can keep on working. I've been able to work for so long because I think next time, I'll make something good.”
Trinh T. Minh-ha
“Speaking, writing, and discoursing are not mere acts of communication; they are above all acts of compulsion. Please follow me. Trust me, for deep feeling and understanding require total committment.”
Konstantin Lopushansky
[On his intention for 'Visitor To A Museum'] “Help the viewer to open up his soul for compassion, for understanding religious truths, for a desire to comprehend them and apply them to his own fate.”
Kihachiro Kawamoto
“Puppets make their own story, while with cut out animation the story is created by the animator.”
Ishirô Honda
“Monsters are born too tall, too strong, too heavy, they are not evil by choice; that is their tragedy”
Sergei Parajanov
“I believe you have to be born a director. It’s like a child’s adventure: you take the initiative among other children and become a director, creating a mystery. You mould things into shape and create.”
Juan López Moctezuma
“Movies are for me a magical instrument... It's a way of building other worlds.”
Abel Ferrara
“I was raised a Catholic and when you're raised a Catholic they don't teach you to think for yourself...you're taught not to think too deeply about things.”
Kenneth Branagh
“I feel more Irish than English. I feel freer than British, more visceral, with a love of language. Shot through with fire in some way. That's why I resist being appropriated as the current repository of Shakespeare on the planet. That would mean I'm part of the English cultural elite, and I am utterly ill-fitted to be.”
Martin Campbell
“I like pre-production and post the best. I don't like shooting at all. I find it grueling and tough, but I love post and the whole process of seeing the film finally come together. You start ironing out all the rough spots, and the really bad bits you just throw away. So from day one of post to the last day, you see nothing but improvements.”
