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.”

Michelangelo Antonioni

“Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.”

Harmony Korine

“What I remember myself from films, and what I love about films, is specific scenes and characters.”

John Cassavetes

“The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.”

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.”

Agnès Varda

“I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.”

Stanley Kubrick

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

David Lynch

“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”

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.'”

Jean-Luc Godard

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