Lionel Rogosin

“To be a filmmaker you have to have the patience of a monk and the passion of a tiger and be prepared to be paid last.”

Shirley Clarke

“I was embarrassed for years to let anyone know I had won an Academy Award for The Connection. That wasn’t really a prize I wanted to win. I was happy to say that The Connection got a prize at Cannes. I was happy to say that The Cool World was the first independent film to play in Venice.”

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.”
