Terrence Malick

“[On Badlands (1973)] I tried to keep the 1950s to a bare minimum. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything. I wanted the picture to set up like a fairy tale, outside time, like Treasure Island. I hoped this would, among other things, take a little of the sharpness out of the violence, but still keep its dreamy quality.”

Lindsay Anderson

“Revolution is the opium of the intellectuals.”

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.”

Martin Scorsese

“Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.”

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.”

John Ford

“I hate the cinema. But I like making westerns.”

 
W120

Orson Welles

“A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.”

Monte Hellman

“I've been in love with the movies as long as I can remember.”

Nicolas Roeg

“You make the movie through the cinematography - it sounds quite a simple idea, but it was like a huge revelation to me.”

 
W120

Bernardo Bertolucci

“I don't film messages. I let the post office take care of those.”

 
W120

Wim Wenders

“Any movie that has that spirit and says things can be changed is worth making. ”

Stanley Kubrick

“If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.”

 
W120

Robert Altman

“Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.”

 
W120

François Truffaut

“I have always preferred the reflection of the life to life itself.”

 
W120

Woody Allen

“Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.”

Jean-Luc Godard

“A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. ”
