Louis Malle
“You must find the note, the correct key, for your story. If you find it, everything will work. If you do not, everything will stick out like elbows.”
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.”
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
Fritz Lang
“I should say that I was a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or rarely, with my ears...to my constant regret.”
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.”
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.”
Jean Renoir
“A director makes only one movie in his life. Then he breaks it into pieces and makes it again.”
Alejandro González Iñárritu
“(On why did he not record an audio commentary for 21 Grams) I don't like them. I feel that if you have to explain something it loses strength. It's like a magician trying to explain his magic, in a way.”
Takeshi Kitano
“Sword fighting in film is not about how good the fighter is, but how good the actor receiving the blows is.”
Luis Buñuel
“If someone were to tell me I had twenty years left, and ask me how I'd like to spend them, I'd reply 'Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other twenty-two in dreams.'”
Howard Hawks
“I'm a storyteller - that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move! ”
Krzysztof Kieślowski
“Maybe it is worth investigating the unknown, if only because the very feeling of not knowing is a painful one.”
Kim Ki-duk
“I always ask myself one question: what is human? What does it mean to be human? Maybe people will consider my new films brutal again. But this violence is just a reflection of what they really are, of what is in each one of us to certain degree.”
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.”
