“I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.”
Kathryn Bigelow

Sergio Corbucci

Alfonso Cuarón
“The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.”
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.”

Rob Reiner
“Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot.”
Roman Polanski
“You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity.”
