James Gray
“What I’m after, making a film, is the most exact transcript of my most intimate impressions of behavior”
Lucrecia Martel
“From the very beginning, even when I’m writing, I think a lot about the sound. Many elements of my work in cinema come from oral storytelling and oral tradition. I think about sound and the rhythm of the sound.”
Walter Salles
“The necessity to conceptualize has to come very early on, and defining a vector of development for that film also at the beginning of the process will allow you much more freedom as you go along.”
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.”
Pedro Almodóvar
“I also wanted to express the strength of cinema to hide reality, while being entertaining. Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.”
Clint Eastwood
“...in America, instead of making the audience come to the film, the idea seems to be for you to go to the audience. They come up with the demographics for the film and then the film is made and sold strictly to that audience. Not to say that it's all bad, but it leaves a lot of the rest of us out of it. To me cinema can be a much more friendly world if there's a lot of things to choose from.”
Steven Spielberg
“I think that the Internet is going to effect the most profound change on the entertainment industries combined. And we're all gonna be tuning into the most popular Internet show in the world, which will be coming from some place in Des Moines. We're all gonna lose our jobs. We're all gonna be on the Internet trying to find an audience.”
Ingmar Bergman
“Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”
Miloš Forman
“The worst evil is - and that's the product of censorship - is the self-censorship, because that twists spines, that destroys my character because I have to think something else and say something else, I have to always control myself.”
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.”
Gus Van Sant
“I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.”
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.”
Krzysztof Kieślowski
“Maybe it is worth investigating the unknown, if only because the very feeling of not knowing is a painful one.”
