Werner Herzog

Jules Dassin

Michael Powell
“I’m not a director with a personal style, I am simply cinema. I have grown up with and through the cinema...”
Yasujirô Ozu

“Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied...that's why they can keep on working. I've been able to work for so long because I think next time, I'll make something good.”
John Frankenheimer
“I feel that my job is to create an atmosphere where creative people can do their best work. In other words, I have to create an atmosphere where these people feel safe, where they feel respected, and where they feel that they can contribute.”
Ingmar Bergman
