Fritz Lang
“I should say that I was a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or rarely, with my ears...to my constant regret.”
Sadie Benning
“My dad said to me, 'You know, I'm really worried that all your work is just going to be on one subject.' And I was like, 'Yeah, my life.' He makes [experimental] films. What are his films about? They're about his life. It just so happens that his sexuality isn't something that people are going to label or talk about or say, 'He's the heterosexual artist.'”
Diane Kurys
““Entre Nous” was a way of reconciling my parents, however briefly, on screen. I put them back together in the film, to realize the dream I had as a child that they would be living together. I had to prove it was not my fault they divorced. I had to prove that the premises of the marriage were wrong.”
Michael Haneke
“Every film is manipulative, raping the viewer. So the question is: Why do I rape the viewer?”
John Huston
“The directing of a picture involves coming out of your individual loneliness and taking a controlling part in putting together a small world. A picture is made. You put a frame around it and move on.”
Jacques Demy
"He has an idea of the world he is trying to apply to the cinema or else… an idea of cinema which he applies to the world." —Jean-Luc Godard
Michael Powell
“I’m not a director with a personal style, I am simply cinema. I have grown up with and through the cinema...”
Howard Hawks
“I'm a storyteller—that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move!”
Maurice Pialat
“What I try to do, with the actors' consent, is to create something by beginning with a set situation that we can deviate from in the course of the shoot. ”
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. ”
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.”
Elaine May
“The only thing experience teaches you is what you can't do. When you start, you think you can do anything. And then you start to get a little tired.”
