Ingmar Bergman
“Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”
Sergio Leone
“In my childhood, America was like a religion. Then, real-life Americans abruptly entered my life in jeeps and upset all my dreams.”
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.”
Takashi Miike
“I don't think about the audience, I don't think about what makes them happy, because there's no way for me to know. They think of the audience as a mass, but in fact every person in the audience is different. So entertainment for everyone doesn't exist.”
J.J. Abrams
“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.”
Steven Spielberg
“I think that the Internet is going to effect the most profound change on the entertainment industries combined. And we're all gonna be tuning into the most popular Internet show in the world, which will be coming from some place in Des Moines. We're all gonna lose our jobs. We're all gonna be on the Internet trying to find an audience.”
Federico Fellini
“What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one...”
Sergio Corbucci
“The American Western was too important for our generation. We make them even when we don’t want to.”
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
Sofia Coppola
“Perhaps it makes sense that a woman whose earliest memory was on the set of Apocalypse Now would grow up to direct a dark fable about five adolescent girls who unapologetically and unceremoniously kill themselves...”
Jean-Luc Godard
“A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. ”
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.”
Akira Kurosawa
“Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied...that's why they can keep on working. I've been able to work for so long because I think next time, I'll make something good.”
