Federico Fellini
“What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one...”
Fritz Lang
“I should say that I was a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or rarely, with my ears...to my constant regret.”
Sergei Eisenstein
“Now why should the cinema follow the forms of theater and painting rather than the methodology of language, which allows wholly new concepts of ideas to arise from the combination of two concrete denotations of two concrete objects?”
Luis Buñuel
“If someone were to tell me I had twenty years left, and ask me how I'd like to spend them, I'd reply 'Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other twenty-two in dreams.'”
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.”
James Cameron
“People call me a perfectionist, but I'm not. I'm a rightist. I do something until it's right, and then I move on to the next thing.”
Alejandro Amenábar
“I wouldn't say I'm a very controlling person. For instance, when I talk to the actors, I don't tell them exactly what I want because I want them to surprise me. I even encourage them to change some of the verses of the script if they need to.”
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
Kim Ki-duk
“I always ask myself one question: what is human? What does it mean to be human? Maybe people will consider my new films brutal again. But this violence is just a reflection of what they really are, of what is in each one of us to certain degree.”
