Ray Harryhausen
“People ask me if I would have used computer graphics today. I may have, I don’t know. There’s a lot of technology now that allows you to view instantly the film you’ve just shot. But I never cared what I had done, I only cared where I was going.”
Larisa Shepitko
“Any interference by society in an adult’s personal life will be extremely dangerous until society itself becomes ideal. But in the ideal society interference in personal life will obviously be unnecessary.”
Miloš Forman
“The worst evil is - and that's the product of censorship - is the self-censorship, because that twists spines, that destroys my character because I have to think something else and say something else, I have to always control myself.”
Tim Burton
“I've always loved the idea of fairy tales, but somehow I never managed to completely connect with them. What interests me is taking those classic images and themes and trying to contemporize them a bit. I believe folk tales and fairy tales have some sort of psychological foundation that makes that possible.”
William Castle
“Don’t be embarrassed about opening your mouth and letting rip with all you’ve got, because the person in the seat right next to you, will probably be screaming too!”
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.”
Georgi Daneliya
“The character on the screen is expressed not through dialogues full of suggestions, not through specially constructed frames, not through the characters’ reasonings about themselves, but through ingenuous action. I analyze people proceeding from their behavior.”
Federico Fellini
“What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one...”
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.”
Chuck Jones
[On one of his most famous characters] "The coyote is victimized by his own ineptitude. I never understood how to use tools and that's really the coyote's problem."
Michael Powell
“I’m not a director with a personal style, I am simply cinema. I have grown up with and through the cinema...”
Henri-Georges Clouzot
“I want only to tell a story. I think movies are entertainment. If at the same time you can get across something you feel, that is perfect.”
Mario Bava
“In a horror film, lighting is 70% of the effectiveness. It’s essential in creation the atmosphere.”
Claude Lelouch
“I see a film as a puzzle, with a beginning, middle, and end, but I like to start at the end sometimes. I start with sequences that stimulate the viewer’s intelligence and emotions. You have to strike hard from the beginning and create a depressurizing zone between the viewer’s own life and the one onscreen.”
