“I was mad about movies. My brother and I would walk three to four miles, sometimes in the rain, to see films. I joined a local film society, but I never thought movies could become my career.”

“Actors are responsible to the people we play.”

Carey Mulligan

“My generation tends to play it cool these days. But there is no room for cool. You have got to be irritating and desperate, and if you are not it is terribly boring.”

Billy Williams

Harry Dean Stanton

“Usually, I just play myself. Whatever psychological traumas or conflicts I'm going through at the time I try to put into the role. Sometimes it's quite a feat to pull off, but sometimes it works. If it doesn't correspond to the dilemmas of the character, then I don't do the film.”

Maxyne Franklin

Jess Search

Maria Dinulescu

Marcel Zyskind

Christopher Doyle

“You see the world, you end up in jail three or four times, you accumulate experience. And it gives you something to say. If you don't have anything to say then you shouldn't be making films. It's nothing to do with what lens you're using.”

Bob Dylan

“Keep a good head and always carry a light bulb.”

Mick Jagger

“People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It's very selfish, but it's understandable.”

Saul Zaentz

Charlie Kaufman

“I try to write something that's complicated. That has different levels within it - I think people can do what they want to do once they watch the movie. I intend it to be what it is. I write for myself. What I understand.”
