Lena Dunham
“It all comes from the writing. Then the desire to direct is the desire to have that kind of control over what I've written and to take my vision all the way to the end point.”
William Friedkin
“By the time a film of mine makes it into the theaters, I have a love-hate relationship with it. There is always something I could have done to make it better.”
Lee Chang-dong
“There’s no question that ‘Green Fish’ and ‘Peppermint Candy’ draw on the political and economic problems of Korea. But they weren’t my main focus. My main interest has always been human beings. I believe film is the best medium to show something about human beings.”
José Val del Omar
“Life is only a slowed-down explosion, and I try to compress it to turn it into ecstasy: into eternal instant.”
George Kuchar
“I get up late after editing ‘til dawn, soil some kitchenware, feed the cats and then go out for exercise so that my mid section doesn’t expand so much when I sit down at the editing bench once again.”
Gregory J. Markopoulos
“For me, locations and beautiful people have always been the backbone of my work.”
Jean Cocteau
“Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail. ”
David LaChapelle
“My pictures are about getting as far away from reality as possible. Dreams should be part of our everyday life.”
Jean Vigo
[on his film, À propos de Nice] “In this film, by showing certain basic aspects of a city, a way of life is put on trial. The last gasps of a society so lost in its escapism that it sickens you and makes you sympathetic to a revolutionary solution.”
Pen-ek Ratanaruang
“In Last Life In The Universe we wanted the audience not to notice when the music comes in or when it goes out. It's there to create atmosphere. I'm drawn to any style of music as long as it's sad. I'm very fond of depressing music. I think it's beautiful.”
