Zitat des Tages von Christopher McQuarrie:

Directing has completely changed the way I write and watch films.

When you've written a film and directed it and it comes out exactly as you imagined it, it's pretty boring.

Christopher McQuarrie

I honestly never wanted to direct. It was only when I started to work on 'Alexander the Great' that I realized I had to direct. I saw something so specifically in my mind, I could not leave it to someone else.

Christopher McQuarrie

Scripts don't get movies made.

Christopher McQuarrie

I've always been fascinated with Navy SEALs in general and their role in Afghanistan in particular.

Christopher McQuarrie

The way I like to describe Hollywood today is this: everyone wants to make 'Deliverance,' but no one wants to be Ned Beatty.

Christopher McQuarrie

Directing my own writing, I see that I talk way too much, and everything can happen much sooner, with much less said about it.

Christopher McQuarrie

Action to me is something very fun to shoot.

Christopher McQuarrie

Look: the day I've made a movie that I think is really good, I hope I say it out loud so somebody can say, 'Then you probably made the worst movie of your entire career.'

Christopher McQuarrie

Directing has completely changed the way I write and watch films.

Christopher McQuarrie

The truth of the matter is movies are a reflection of life and violence is a real part of life. I don't think you could make movies exclusively where there was no violence.

Christopher McQuarrie

Ideally, I'd like to have a movie that people like and makes money.

Christopher McQuarrie

I believe that as a writer and a director, you're only providing the skeleton of a character, and you're hiring actors to fill it out.

Christopher McQuarrie

The challenge in most car chases is you're trying to hide the fact that it's not the actor driving.

Christopher McQuarrie

I love traveling around promoting different movies because I'm always looking at different places, and I always walk around to see the city.

Christopher McQuarrie

I love films like 'Deliverance' where you can watch it over and over again and decode all of its many different meanings.

Christopher McQuarrie

For everything you give an audience, you always have to take one thing away. They always have to pay for the story.

Christopher McQuarrie

I've rewritten other films and watched my writing be mutilated, but luckily, it's been mutilated anonymously.

Christopher McQuarrie

When you're making a film, you don't really have time to consider what the whole of your film is. And then, when you're releasing your film and promoting your film, you're looking at it in a different way. Then, as you move away from it, you start to look at it objectively and think, 'What could I have done better?'

Christopher McQuarrie

History tends to take the simplest possible view. As soon as you start to scratch the surface of any historical event, it starts to become more and more complicated, which is not the stuff of Hollywood films. Complications tend to break down the budget.
