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.”
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.”
Julio Medem
“I want my own experience with each film to be new, so I try to run away fully from the film I made before and make something completely different.”
Gus Van Sant
“I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.”
Luis Buñuel
“If someone were to tell me I had twenty years left, and ask me how I'd like to spend them, I'd reply 'Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other twenty-two in dreams.'”
Buster Keaton
“I don't act anyway. The stuff is all injected as we go along. My pictures are made without script or written directions of any kind.”
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.”
Pedro Almodóvar

David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
Francis Ford Coppola
“I'm in a unique situation. I'm like now an elderly retired guy who made a lot of money, and now I can just, instead of playing golf, I can make art films.”
Wong Kar-wai
“Sometimes they think the way we work is very stylish and romantic, but actually it's the way we can survive and make the films. We can work with the things that we get, but not the things we wish we had.”
Tim Burton
“I've always loved the idea of fairy tales, but somehow I never managed to completely connect with them. What interests me is taking those classic images and themes and trying to contemporize them a bit. I believe folk tales and fairy tales have some sort of psychological foundation that makes that possible.”
