Gus Van Sant
“I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.”
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.”
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.”
Terrence Malick
“[On Badlands (1973)] I tried to keep the 1950s to a bare minimum. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything. I wanted the picture to set up like a fairy tale, outside time, like Treasure Island. I hoped this would, among other things, take a little of the sharpness out of the violence, but still keep its dreamy quality.”
