David Cronenberg
“Anybody who comes to the cinema is bringing their whole sexual history, their literary history, their movie literacy, their culture, their language, their religion, whatever they've got. I can't possibly manipulate all of that, nor do I want to.”
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.”
Fritz Lang
“I should say that I was a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or rarely, with my ears...to my constant regret.”
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.”
Akira Kurosawa
“Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied...that's why they can keep on working. I've been able to work for so long because I think next time, I'll make something good.”
Jean-Luc Godard
“A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. ”
Andrei Tarkovsky
“Juxtaposing a person with an environment that is boundless, collating him with a countless number of people passing by close to him and far away, relating a person to the whole world, that is the meaning of cinema.”
Quentin Tarantino
“I don't believe in elitism. I don't think the audience is this dumb person lower than me. I am the audience.”
