Akira Kurosawa
“Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied...that's why they can keep on working. I've been able to work for so long because I think next time, I'll make something good.”
Rainer Werner Fassbinder
“It isn't easy to accept that suffering can also be beautiful...it's difficult. It's something you can only understand if you dig deeply into yourself.”
Luchino Visconti
“I took a round trip around Hollywood because I think it frightened me. I didn’t want to get burned in that glare.”
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.”
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.”
Danny Boyle
“There's a certain truth that you do end up making the same film again and again so if you vary the genre you have a chance of breaking that cycle.”
Hayao Miyazaki
“Modern life is so thin and shallow and fake. I look forward to when developers go bankrupt, Japan gets poorer and wild grasses take over.”
Hal Ashby
“Hitchhiked to Los Angeles when I was 17. Had about 50 or 60 jobs up to the time I was working as a Multilith operator at good old Republic Studios.”
Otto Preminger
[Giving direction to a group of children on Exodus (1960)] "Cry, you little monsters!"
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
Jane Campion
“What I have learned from my work up to now, is to try to be open, but also protect myself by not letting the good and the evil get too much importance.”
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.”
Spike Lee
“I think it would be very boring dramatically to have a film where everybody was a lawyer or doctor and had no faults. To me, the most important thing is to be truthful.”
