Joseph H. Lewis
“[explaining how he got the nickname Wagon Wheel Joe] I carried a box filled with different wagon wheels. Whenever I’d come to a scene which was just disgraceful in dialogue and all, I’d place a wagon wheel in one portion of the frame, and make an artistic shot out of it, so by the time the scene was over you only saw the artistic value and couldn’t analyze what the scene was about.”
Sarah Polley
“Being a human being is all about experiencing all of the wonders of the world and therefore as an actress, I'm open to any opportunity that may enrich my horizon.”
Jim Henson
“The Muppets transcend all age groups. Their satiric comment on society seems to delight all ages.”
John Sayles
“Oh, I've always felt like I was on the margins. Once upon a time that's what independent used to mean.”
Samuel Fuller
“Movement should be a counter, whether in action scenes or dialogue or whatever. It counters where your eye is going. This style thing, for me it's all fitted to the action, to the script, to the characters.”
Howard Hawks
“I'm a storyteller—that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move!”
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!”
Kenji Mizoguchi
“You must put the odor of the human body into images...describe for me the implacable, the egoistic, the sensual, the cruel...there are nothing but disgusting people in this world.”
Pier Paolo Pasolini
“The mark which has dominated all my work is this longing for life, this sense of exclusion, which doesn't lessen but augments this love of life.”
Buster Keaton
“I don't act anyway. The stuff is all injected as we go along. My pictures are made without script or written directions of any kind.”
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.”
