“Especially in television, the more that you’re telling a story about a family, the better the show ends up being. And the family can be a family, a group of friends or the members of a starship. You’re telling the story of relationships and how characters grow.”
George Lucas
“If the boy and girl walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand in the last scene, it adds 10 million to the box office.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Lars von Trier
“I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.”
