Mike Leigh
“The whole thing about making films in an organic film location is that it's not all about characters, relationships and themes, it's also about place and the poetry of place. It's about the spirit of what you find, the accidents of what you stumble across”
David Fincher
“I don't know how much movies should entertain. To me I'm always interested in movies that scar. The thing I love about JAWS is that I've never gone swimming in the ocean again.”
Federico Fellini
“What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one...”
John Huston
“The directing of a picture involves coming out of your individual loneliness and taking a controlling part in putting together a small world. A picture is made. You put a frame around it and move on.”
Jean-Luc Godard

Peter Bogdanovich
“It's a misconception about acting that it's a practice in pretending to be someone else. It's actually a practice in finding the character within yourself.”
Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Thomas Vinterberg

Francis Ford Coppola
“I'm in a unique situation. I'm like now an elderly retired guy who made a lot of money, and now I can just, instead of playing golf, I can make art films.”
Lukas Moodysson
“I'm not particularly interested in probing the depths of my soul; I'm more into probing the world around me.”
Miloš Forman
“The worst evil is - and that's the product of censorship - is the self-censorship, because that twists spines, that destroys my character because I have to think something else and say something else, I have to always control myself.”
Sofia Coppola
“Perhaps it makes sense that a woman whose earliest memory was on the set of Apocalypse Now would grow up to direct a dark fable about five adolescent girls who unapologetically and unceremoniously kill themselves...”
Howard Hawks
“I'm a storyteller—that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move!”
