Tsai Ming-liang

“The body always plays an important role in my films. You could say the body is the most beautiful thing we have or you could say it’s the ugliest thing we have. We can sell bodies, we can adore or worship bodies.”

Pedro Almodóvar

“I also wanted to express the strength of cinema to hide reality, while being entertaining. Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.”

Wong Kar-wai

Jean-Luc Godard

Michelangelo Antonioni

“Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.”

Jim Jarmusch

Michael Mann

“I cannot just make a film and walk away from it. I need that creative intimacy, and quite frankly, the control to execute my visions, on all my projects.”

Michel Gondry

“Every great idea is on the verge of being stupid.”

Lynne Ramsay

“I've found that film-making's not just a job, it becomes part of your whole life.”
