Mike Nichols
“Nerves provide me with energy...It's when I don't have them, when I feel at ease, that I get worried.”
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.”
Steve McQueen
“My influences come from real life. I’m not interested in cinema for cinema’s sake. I’m interested in life—what one does and how one interacts.”
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...”
Melvin Van Peebles
“I make a film like I cook for friends. I hope they like it, but if they don't, I'm prepared to enjoy it all by myself.”
Víctor Erice
“I think that among the arts, cinema is the least known. Its history is generally ignored, and so is, above all, its real nature. As cinema is the most secret of all artistic languages, it is also the least understood.”
Alan Ball
“I think it's very difficult and it requires a tremendous amount of spiritual integrity and discipline to not be a narcissist in a culture that encourages it every step of the way.”
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.”
Bertrand Bonello
“Mythology was the result of a polytheist society, today the oracle of my film who tells people their future clashes with Church dogma.”
Harmony Korine
“What I remember myself from films, and what I love about films, is specific scenes and characters.”
Sam Mendes
“I think movies are a director's medium in the end. Theater is the actor's medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance.”
