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.”
Spike Lee
“I think it would be very boring dramatically to have a film where everybody was a lawyer or doctor and had no faults. To me, the most important thing is to be truthful.”
Spike Jonze
“Being able to shoot on videos and commercials — just being on the set, with only a certain amount of time and shots and sequences to do in that amount of time, learning how to work with the crew the physical production and the limitations — is all good training.”
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.”
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.”
Takeshi Kitano
“Sword fighting in film is not about how good the fighter is, but how good the actor receiving the blows is.”
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.”
Federico Fellini
“What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one...”
Alfonso Cuarón
“The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.”
Robert Rodriguez
“Don't give me any money, don't give me any people, but give freedom, and I'll give you a movie that looks gigantic. ”
Sam Raimi
“I look at myself as an entertainer, more than anything else. I wanted to make the movie a little more different than the previous films… That was less about me growing as a craftsman. That was more about me trying to provide an element to the audience that I thought they might need something different, that came from a different place.”
