Brian De Palma
“So I like to try to go back and develop pure visual storytelling. Because to me, it's one of the most exciting aspects of making movies and almost a lost art at this point. ”
Samuel Fuller
“Movement should be a counter, whether in action scenes or dialogue or whatever. It counters where your eye is going. This style thing, for me it's all fitted to the action, to the script, to the characters.”
J.J. Abrams
“Especially in television, the more that you’re telling a story about a family, the better the show ends up being. And the family can be a family, a group of friends or the members of a starship. You’re telling the story of relationships and how characters grow.”
Jacques Tourneur
“I look for very strong visual unity by using a type of framing and camera movement that is very simple. Everything must come from inside. It mustn’t be superficial. I hate weird camera angles and distorting lenses.”
Henri-Georges Clouzot
“I want only to tell a story. I think movies are entertainment. If at the same time you can get across something you feel, that is perfect.”
Michael Powell
“I’m not a director with a personal style, I am simply cinema. I have grown up with and through the cinema...”
Howard Hawks
“I'm a storyteller - that's the chief function of a director. And they're moving pictures, let's make 'em move! ”
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
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.”
Brad Bird
“We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.”
Jean Renoir
“A director makes only one movie in his life. Then he breaks it into pieces and makes it again.”
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.”
Julian Schnabel
“Some people must go to extremes to get the world in balance for themselves. Some can't bear bright lights, so wherever they go they search for the dark; they turn the lights down, anything to sustain some level of comfort.”
Alfonso Cuarón
“The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.”
