Abbas Kiarostami
“But in all, I don't like to engage in telling stories. I don't like to arouse the viewer emotionally or give him advice. I don't like to belittle him or burden him with a sense of guilt. These are the things I don't like in the movies.”
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.”
Darren Aronofsky
“To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don't think is a good ride.”
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.”
Jean-Luc Godard
“A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. ”
Terry Gilliam
“You get trapped by stories. Though I've got this reputation for being out of control, it's not true, it just happens to be a more interesting story than the truth.”
Krzysztof Kieślowski
“Maybe it is worth investigating the unknown, if only because the very feeling of not knowing is a painful one.”
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.”
Wes Anderson
“I know that feeling of looking back and thinking, that part I'd like to fix. So I obsessively try not to compromise.”
Ingmar Bergman
“Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
Errol Morris
“The proper route to an understanding of the world is an examination of our errors about it.”
Michael Haneke
“Every film is manipulative, raping the viewer. So the question is: Why do I rape the viewer?”
