Catherine Breillat

“When I shoot a film, I always project myself into one of the characters, at once into either a man or a woman...”

François Ozon

“I think cinema has to deal with desire. In the cinema, you are with a big screen, it is dark, and you watch some images, like a fantasy, so I think it is important for you to feel desire for what you see.”

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.”

Sidney Lumet

“All great work is preparing yourself for the accident to happen.”

Frank Capra

“My advice to young filmmakers is this: Don’t follow trends. Start them!”

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.”

Clint Eastwood

“...in America, instead of making the audience come to the film, the idea seems to be for you to go to the audience. They come up with the demographics for the film and then the film is made and sold strictly to that audience. Not to say that it's all bad, but it leaves a lot of the rest of us out of it. To me cinema can be a much more friendly world if there's a lot of things to choose from.”

Alfred Hitchcock

“For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”
