Martin Scorsese Quotes

I was saying as a joke the other day that I love film editing, I know how to cut a picture, I think I know how to shoot it, but I don’t know how to light it. And I realize it’s because I didn’t grow up with light. I grew up in tenements Picture Quote #1

The most important thing is, how can I move forward towards something that I can’t articulate, that is new in storytelling with moving images and sound? Picture Quote #1

Violence is not the answer, it doesn’t work any more. We are at the end of the worst century in which the greatest atrocities in the history of the world have occurred... The nature of human beings must change. We must cultivate love and compassion Picture Quote #1

I’m not interested in a realistic look, not at all, not ever. Every film should look the way I feel Picture Quote #1

I look for a thematic idea running through my movies and I see that it’s the outsider struggling for recognition. I realize that all my life I’ve been an outsider, and above all, being lonely but never realizing it Picture Quote #1

The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings Picture Quote #1

When everything is added up, the frequent blows weighted against the sporadic triumphs, this is I have to say not just a vocation, it’s a great gift. But you also know this, for your work, for your passion, every day is a rededication. Painters, dancers, actors, writers, filmmakers. It’s the same for all of you, all of us. Every step is a first step. Every brush stroke is a test. Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. So, let the learning continue Picture Quote #1

I think there’s only one or two films where I’ve had all the financial support I needed. All the rest, I wish I’d had the money to shoot another ten days Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world and if it does, then only temporarily Picture Quote #1

Every year or so, I try to do something; it keeps me refreshed as to what’s going on in front of the lens, and I understand what the actor is going through Picture Quote #1

I always say that I’ve been in a bad mood for maybe 35 years now. I try to lighten it up, but that’s what comes out when you get me on camera Picture Quote #1

People have to start talking to know more about other cultures and to understand each other Picture Quote #1

I didn’t realize there are generations who do not know about the origins of film Picture Quote #1

There are times when you have to face your enemies, sit down and deal with it Picture Quote #1

Zombies, what are you going to do with them? Just keep chopping them up, shooting at them, shooting at them Picture Quote #1

Because of the movies I make, people get nervous. They think of me as difficult and angry. I am difficult and angry, but they don’t expect a sense of humor. And the only thing that gets me through is a sense of humor Picture Quote #1

There’s a way that the force of disappointment can be alchemized into something that will paradoxically renew you Picture Quote #1

Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you’re in your 60s and you’re with the kid every day, you’re dealing with the mind of a child, so it opens up that childishness in you again Picture Quote #1

I am a filmmaker. That is all I’ve ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food Picture Quote #1
