Roman Polanski
“You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity.”
Robert Zemeckis
“No matter how many obstacles that are thrown in our path, there are ways to except them and to live through them.”
Salvador Dalí
“At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.”
Claude Lelouch
“I see a film as a puzzle, with a beginning, middle, and end, but I like to start at the end sometimes. I start with sequences that stimulate the viewer’s intelligence and emotions. You have to strike hard from the beginning and create a depressurizing zone between the viewer’s own life and the one onscreen.”
Robert Downey Sr.
“When it goes together with film, it's a beautiful thing. When the right music and the right images go together, they make something else, whatever that is.”
Jonas Åkerlund
“When someone's paying you to do a job, which is most of the time, you always have to respect your clients. But if I could make a beautiful film and at the same time make people think, then that's perfect.”
Alan J. Pakula
“One of the happiest times in my life was during "The Sterile Cuckoo," mostly because of Liza. I've never seen anybody get more joy out of working and it's contagious.”
Lotte Reiniger
“I love working for children, because they are a very critical and very thankful public.”
Zhang Yimou
“To do art, one thing should always remember - subjects of people in misery have deep meanings.”
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!'.”
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.”
Matthew Barney
“A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn't have an ego when it's wanting to throw up. It just does it.”
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. ”
