Paul Thomas Anderson

“I'll rebel against powers and principalities, all the time. Always, I will.”

 
W120

John Landis

“Directors, like actors, get typecast.”

 
W120

Billy Wilder

“If you're going to tell people the truth, be funny or they'll kill you.”

 
W120

Terrence Malick

“[On Badlands (1973)] I tried to keep the 1950s to a bare minimum. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything. I wanted the picture to set up like a fairy tale, outside time, like Treasure Island. I hoped this would, among other things, take a little of the sharpness out of the violence, but still keep its dreamy quality.”

Kathryn Bigelow

“I've spent a fair amount of time thinking about what my aptitude is, and I really think it's to explore and push the medium. It's not about breaking gender roles or genre traditions.”

 
W120

Alfred Hitchcock

“For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”

 
W120

David Gordon Green

“People think 'independent' means no interference. Not true. Unless you're paying for everything yourself, you're always subject to who's writing the checks.”

 
W120

Roberto Rossellini

“I am not a pessimist; to perceive evil where it exists is, in my opinion, a form of optimism.”

 
W120

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.”

 
W120

John Ford

“I hate the cinema. But I like making westerns.”

 
W120

Martin Scorsese

“Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.”

 
W120

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.”
