Griffin Dunne Quotes

I met Steve McQueen once. Well, met isn’t really the right word Picture Quote #1

When you’re directing, I feel like I’m playing all the parts, without the make-up. I really get into the heads of the characters Picture Quote #1

New York means so much to people. If you’re inclined to leave the nest, New York is where most people think they have to go, and it’s been that way since the first skyscraper Picture Quote #1

In the 80s, I can’t say that Amy and I were aware of an independent film community. We could only get a certain amount of money for our pictures, which made them low budget movies, but they were distributed through studios Picture Quote #1

I think we were the first picture to cut on Final Cut Pro. So we were the guinea pigs, because we got a deal on the system. But with that comes all sorts of technological problems I couldn’t begin to describe Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been schizophrenic; I’ve never been interested in limiting myself Picture Quote #1

Documentaries have always inspired me in narrative filmmaking Picture Quote #1

And I like being able to go back and forth, and I don’t really care if it’s a small budget or big budget or studio or independent, as long as it’s got a story that’s compelling and there’s enough money to make the picture Picture Quote #1

If I knew that, I’d fall in love over and over again. Hearts aren’t supposed to be mended. If you fall in love and it doesn’t work out, you get a broken heart. What comes out of that will make you a better lover and partner next time Picture Quote #1

On every movie I’ve done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don’t envy them, at all Picture Quote #1

I’m in five guilds; that’s a lot of dues to pay. So I have to keep on working Picture Quote #1

I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer Picture Quote #1

Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises Picture Quote #1

As a director, I’ve been able to combine with what I’ve learned as an actor and as a producer: it melds quite nicely into what I feel like I should have been doing all along Picture Quote #1
