Béla Tarr
“I think censorship is always there. Then it was the censorship of the state and now it's the censorship of the market.”
Jean Vigo
[on his film, Nizza] “In this film, by showing certain basic aspects of a city, a way of life is put on trial. The last gasps of a society so lost in its escapism that it sickens you and makes you sympathetic to a revolutionary solution.”
Lois Weber
“In moving pictures I have found my life work. I find at once an outlet for my emotions and my ideals. I can preach to my heart’s content.”
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.”
Friz Freleng
“The only thing that saved me was that the people in charge there didn’t know any more about animation than I did.”
Robert Clampett
“I became so enchanted with the new medium of sound cartoons that I gave up the seventy-five dollars a week to join Warner Bros. cartoons for ten dollars a week.”
Luchino Visconti
“I took a round trip around Hollywood because I think it frightened me. I didn’t want to get burned in that glare.”
Peter Watkins
“I think that the main impact on my work, on the making of this film, came from the intensity of the similarity I felt to Edvard Munch as a man, as an artist, as someone who struggled throughout his life.”
