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.”
Hirokazu Kore-eda
“I wanted to create a big lie, meaning the opposite of the documentary-style, naturalist, contemporary films I've been doing.... So far I've tried to use naturalism to search for reality, but now I will try total fiction to search for that reality. ”
Satoshi Kon
“It's true that the attitude of directors towards how to employ CG differs from person to person. In fact I don't think that type of blending has become a natural part of our everyday lives. Our wish is for analog animation to swallow digital animation.”
Shunji Iwai
“I like analogue things more than plastic things. But as for picture quality, 35 mm is just half the size it can be, which is an issue for me.”
Guillermo del Toro
“I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.”
Michel Gondry
“When people are very original, sometimes they are original as a way to resist the mainstream.”
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.”
Ang Lee
“Things are being simplified a lot for us lately. I think people are hungry for something that shows more respect for the complexity of life, the depth, the grey areas.”
Gus Van Sant
“I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
Wong Kar-wai
“Sometimes they think the way we work is very stylish and romantic, but actually it's the way we can survive and make the films. We can work with the things that we get, but not the things we wish we had.”
