Lewis Milestone

“Everything went off fine for a couple of weeks, and then suddenly we were doing a scene and Marlon spoke to the cameraman, right past me. He said: ‘Look, I’ll tell you, when I go like this, it means roll it, and this gesture means you stop the camera. You don’t stop the camera until I give you the signal’. Well, I was amazed, but I didn’t say anything about it.”

Jacques Tourneur

“I look for very strong visual unity by using a type of framing and camera movement that is very simple. Everything must come from inside. It mustn’t be superficial. I hate weird camera angles and distorting lenses.”

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.”

Krzysztof Kieślowski

“Maybe it is worth investigating the unknown, if only because the very feeling of not knowing is a painful one.”

Robert Bresson

“Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.”

Peter Bogdanovich

“It's a misconception about acting that it's a practice in pretending to be someone else. It's actually a practice in finding the character within yourself.”

Werner Herzog

“It is my duty to direct because the films might be the inner chronicle of what we are, and we have to articulate ourselves. Otherwise we would be cows in the field.”

Alfred Hitchcock

“For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”

Martin Scorsese

“Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.”

Howard Hawks

“I'm a storyteller - that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move! ”

Orson Welles

“A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet.”

John Ford

“I hate the cinema. But I like making westerns.”

John Huston

“The directing of a picture involves coming out of your individual loneliness and taking a controlling part in putting together a small world. A picture is made. You put a frame around it and move on.”
