Harold Ramis
“Well, I never made big films to make big films; the scale's been appropriate to the content.”
Lars von Trier
“I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.”
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.”
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.”
Jean Cocteau
“Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail. ”
Jan Švankmajer
“I never call myself an animated filmmaker because I am interested not in animation techniques or creating a complete illusion, but in bringing life to everyday objects.”
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.”
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.'”
