Text Quotes
You don’t want to ask after the health of anyone, if you’re a funeral director. They think maybe you’re scouting for business. (Director Quotes)
In film, I was surprised when I first saw the movie ‘Drive.’ I said, ‘Oh, God. It sounds great - I love it. Wow, this could be the soundtrack from ‘American Gigolo’ or ‘Cat People.’ But I’m surprised that the director would agree with a composer to write that kind of sound. (Director Quotes)
In my mid-20s, I was directing episodes of ‘Alfred Hitchcock’ and ‘Peter Gunn.’ I was pretty much on course and - as I sometimes joke - was prepared to devote my life to become the second best film director in my family. (Director Quotes)
Martin Scorcese is probably America’s greatest living director, and while he is not a titan like John Ford or Alfred Hitchcock or Federico Fellini, he is certainly consistently more interesting than Steven Spielberg, Brian de Palma, Francis Ford Coppola or Woody Allen. Even a failure like Gangs of New York or a curiosity like The Aviator is more interesting and ambitious than Munich, The Black Dahlia or Scoop. (Director Quotes)
[Alfred] Hitchcock was very interested in the image on the screen.As is any good cinema director. That is the language they speak. It is not literature, it is images on screen. (Director Quotes)
When I do a still picture, I’m doing it all by myself with no help. I’m designing everything. I am my own art director. I’m doing everything. I’m directing, editing, whatever. (Director Quotes)
Your own barometer is all you have to go by, and often what makes a good director is knowing when not to say something. On occasions you can find yourself on a film set where the person who is wearing the director’s hat is only trying to justify his position. (Director Quotes)
As a director, my job is, and always has been, divided into a number of things: dealing with the crew, the money and the studio, and the marketing and publicity. These are all different jobs that have to be learned and done as well as possible. The celebrity part rarely touches a director. (Director Quotes)
My all-time favorites that I always go back to are films by the director John Cassavetes. The movies he made, the work he left behind, have been a big influence for my work. (Director Quotes)
The Dance Scene’ is basically the most amazing dance show in the world, and it follows me as a creative director. You see how I maintain that creativity. (Director Quotes)
Choreography is amazing. I’m still a dancer, yet I transitioned into choreography then as a Creative Director. All of these creative elements are brought out of being a dancer. Directing is something that comes out of understanding movement and choreography. Directing movement is directing a dance piece. (Director Quotes)
I no longer do a film for the wrong reasons. I have to be convinced ethically and morally. Both the director and I have to be on the same page. There are just five songs in most films these days, and they have to be amazing. There has to be a twist in the screenplay. The editing has to be crisp. Your hard work should show, but effortlessly. (Director Quotes)
I feel fortunate. I’ve really gotten to work with amazing talented people, and to learn from them, which is why I’m doing this. If I can work with the best director I’m going to do it. (Director Quotes)
Sometimes things are nothing on paper, but a genius director turns it into something amazing (Director Quotes)
Alexander Gonzalez Inarritu is a great director. He’s the one I first worked with. He’s amazing. (Director Quotes)
A British director directed ‘American Beauty,’ an important film about American life, and it didn’t matter. What only mattered was everyone’s sensibility. (Director Quotes)
I think I’m a very American director, but I probably should have been making movies somewhere around 1976. I never left the mainstream of American movies; the American mainstream left me. (Director Quotes)
In theater, you’re in charge of your performance, and at the end of the day you’re the one who gets credit because you’re in front of the audience doing it, and in film and TV it’s the director who gets to decide when to cut to you on a line, which take he uses. (Director Quotes)
I think Ang Lee is a very, very talented director. He used martial arts to talk about love and girl, you know... But Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts film to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope the world will become. (Director Quotes)
The reason I wanted to start directing is that as an actor I felt I came into a job late. There’s a whole team of people who have been working on it for months before you start. You have this really intense period of filming and then you leave it, knowing that the director will work on it for another few months. (Director Quotes)
Everyone who made ‘Save the Date,’ like the writers and the director, they’re all happily married and not anti-marriage at all, so that was kind of interesting to me. (Director Quotes)
Film’s hard when you don’t have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire. (Director Quotes)
I grew up thinking anything was possible simply because of seeing women in power - like, you know, running the country. Which is a thought that continues to give Americans indigestion... Direction is about having a vision, but the practice of being a director is a con game - a confidence game. (Director Quotes)
The standard rumor at the time was that Rumsfeld, as chief of staff, had persuaded President Ford to appoint George H.W. Bush as director of Central Intelligence, assuming that that got rid of a potential competitor for the presidency. (Director Quotes)
The director is the ultimate creative arbiter of what’s going to happen. And as a director myself, you really appreciate collaborating with people who are trying to help you find what you need and what you want. (Director Quotes)
The first thing you must know as an actor or director is the space you will inhabit. See the architecture; imagine where things can happen in space. (Director Quotes)
With ‘That Awkward Moment’, you could argue I’m just playing the girlfriend of Zac Efron, but the director was such a creative force and let me make her my own. I loved being part of something that felt so relevant and fresh. (Director Quotes)
My wife Victoria Harwood was art director on ‘Far North,’ and she had designed my student film, ‘The Sheep Thief.’ (Director Quotes)
I’ve learnt so much from every film and every director - a new perspective, a greater appreciation of the art. (Director Quotes)
Ah, there’s a director. Astonishing, Spike Lee. A feisty guy, but a guy who’s, I think, incredibly misunderstood. I think people review his politics or his color as opposed to his filmmaking sometimes. Because he’s a wonderful, wonderful filmmaker and a lover of the art. (Director Quotes)
