Films Quotes

I was born. When I was 23 I started telling jokes. Then I started going on television and doing films. That’s still what I am doing. The end Picture Quote #1

It’s no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn’t even speak to each other if they met at a party Picture Quote #1

Sometimes words need music too. Sometimes the descriptions are not enough. Books should be written with soundtracks, like films Picture Quote #1

A lot of movies were influenced by ‘Logan’s Run,’ like ‘Minority Report’. A lot of films have those elements in them Picture Quote #1

And if there was one title that could be applied to all my films, it would be ‘Civil War’ - not civil war in the way we know it, but the daily war that goes on between us all Picture Quote #1

As soon as I get my car I think I’ll be going to the cinema more. Since I don’t go very often, there are no films that are a must see at the moment. I usually wait till they come out on DVD Picture Quote #1

My films are therapy for my debilitating depression. In institutions people weave baskets. I make films Picture Quote #1

I’d harbored hopes that the intelligence that once inhabited novels or films would ingest rock. I was, perhaps, wrong Picture Quote #1

The only time I’m totally happy is when I’m watching films or making them Picture Quote #1

Films to the degree that they glorify mindlessness and short attention span they are bad, to the degree that they encourage empathy with people not like ourselves and encourage us to think about life, they are good Picture Quote #1

They filled our lives so much, the films they were in made us laugh, think and cry. Through their work they shared a piece of our soul. We will miss them with the sadness with which we miss an old friend Picture Quote #1

If I had to climb into hell and wrestle the devil himself for one of my films, I would do it Picture Quote #1

I think it’s always hard for people to get their head around the fact that populist, commercial films can also actually be great works of art Picture Quote #1

With today’s movies, if we took out all the bad language, we’d go back to silent films Picture Quote #1

As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love Picture Quote #1

We live in far too permissive a society. Never before has pornography been this rampant. And those films are so badly lit! Picture Quote #1

To make films, you have to have boundless energy; you have to work and play with others really, really well, and I’m really a more contemplative kind of person. I like to sit at home and think, a lot Picture Quote #1

It’s in the films and songs and all your magazines. It’s everywhere that you may go, the devil’s radio Picture Quote #1

I’m not a cinephile. My films don’t reference films. I’m more interested in rhythm and feeling Picture Quote #1

Films and television and even comic books are churning out vast quantities of fictional narratives, and the public continues to swallow them up with great passion. That is because human beings need stories Picture Quote #1

Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there’s a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual Picture Quote #1

I’ve produced a couple of films and really enjoyed starting it from the very beginning and seeing it all the way through to the end; that was very gratifying Picture Quote #1

I think that films or indeed any art work should be made in a way that they are infinitely viewable; so that you could go back to it time and time again, not necessarily immediately but over a space of time, and see new things in it, or new ways of looking at it Picture Quote #1

If we didn’t want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing, but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally, in a film, it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience Picture Quote #1

All of the films that I’ve made are about the country I live in and grew up in... And I think if you’re going to put an artist’s eye to it, you’re going to put a critical eye to it. I’ve always been interested in the gray area that exists between the black and white, or the red and blue, and that’s where complexity lies Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it’s you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself Picture Quote #1

That’s the thing with the young these days, isn’t it? They watch too many happy endings. Everything has to be wrapped up, with a smile and a tear and a wave. Everyone has learned, found love, seen the error of their ways, discovered the joys of monogamy, or fatherhood, or filial duty, or life itself. In my day, people got shot at the end of films, after learning only that life is hollow, dismal, brutish, and short Picture Quote #1

I’m grateful for anything that reminds me of what’s possible in this life. Books can do that. Films can do that. Music can do that. School can do that. It’s so easy to allow one day to simply follow into the next, but every once in a while we encounter something that shows us that anything is possible, that dramatic change is possible, that something new can be made, that laughter can be shared Picture Quote #1

On the other hand, I view the whole matter from a cosmic perspective. I don’t take a position. I believe that there are no more positions to take, no certainties, no facts. Many people find this confusing about my films; they say I am hiding out behind irony. But from a cosmic viewpoint, it is eternally unimportant whether one lives or not Picture Quote #1

People say my films are dark. But like lightness, darkness stems from a reflection of the world. The thing is, I get these ideas that I truly fall in love with. And a good movie idea is often like a girl you’re in love with, but you know she’s not the kind of girl you bring home to your parents, because they sometimes hold some dark and troubling things Picture Quote #1
