Gus Van Sant
“I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.”
Nicholas Ray
“You like these films, but you can't imagine how often they represent only fifty percent of what I wanted to do. You have no idea how I had to fight to achieve even that fifty percent.”
Michael Winterbottom
“Each scene should feel right, should be true at that moment, and gradually you accumulate these moments of truth until you get enough of them together that it becomes a story that’s interesting.”
F.W. Murnau
“Our battle, our struggle, is to create art. Our weapon is the moving picture...we are scientists engaged in the creation of memory... but our memory will neither blur nor fade.”
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.”
Jean-Marc Vallée
“I was never a tough Quebecer who resents the monarchy, I wasn't an Anglo-basher. It's like I didn't care. Now I can say I have respect for the establishment they represent, even though they're born rich and live in palaces.”
Jack Clayton
“I don't believe in being fashionable. Try to be and you're usually out of date before you start.”
Alejandro Amenábar
“I wouldn't say I'm a very controlling person. For instance, when I talk to the actors, I don't tell them exactly what I want because I want them to surprise me. I even encourage them to change some of the verses of the script if they need to.”
Guillermo del Toro
“I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.”
