Akira Kurosawa

Errol Morris
“The proper route to an understanding of the world is an examination of our errors about it.”
Michael Mann
“I cannot just make a film and walk away from it. I need that creative intimacy, and quite frankly, the control to execute my visions, on all my projects.”
David Cronenberg
“Anybody who comes to the cinema is bringing their whole sexual history, their literary history, their movie literacy, their culture, their language, their religion, whatever they've got. I can't possibly manipulate all of that, nor do I want to.”
Steven Soderbergh

“I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.”
