Martin Scorsese Zitate auf Englisch

Howard Hughes was this visionary who was obsessed with speed and flying like a god... I loved his idea of what filmmaking was.

If it's a modern-day story dealing with certain ethnic groups, I think I could open up certain scenes for improvisation, while staying within the structure of the script.

It did remind me of something out of Greek mythology - the richest king who gets everything he wants, but ultimately his family has a curse on it from the Gods.

Martin Scorsese

I mean, music totally comes from your soul.

Martin Scorsese

There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money, and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you, knowing when to accept their criticism, knowing when to say no.

There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.

Martin Scorsese

You don't make pictures for Oscars.

What the Dalai Lama had to resolve was whether to stay in Tibet or leave. He wanted to stay, but staying would have meant the total destruction of Tibet, because he would have died and that would have ripped the heart out of his people.

I make different films now.

I go through periods, usually when I'm editing and shooting, of seeing only old films.

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

Martin Scorsese

I just wanted to be an ordinary parish priest.

Martin Scorsese

I'm very phobic about flying, but I'm also drawn to it.

Martin Scorsese

Now more than ever we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this.

Martin Scorsese

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.

Martin Scorsese

I'm going to be 60, and I'm almost used to myself.

I mean I have a project that I have been wanting to make for quite a while now; and basically, it's a story of my parents growing up in the Lower East Side.

Martin Scorsese

I loved the idea of seeing the world through a boy's eyes.

Martin Scorsese

Food tells you everything about the way people live and who they are.

Martin Scorsese

I certainly wasn't able to get it when I was a kid growing up on the Lower East Side; it was very hard at that time for me to balance what I really believed was the right way to live with the violence I saw all around me - I saw too much of it among the people I knew.

Martin Scorsese

I've been to North Africa many times.

Martin Scorsese

I think all of us, under certain circumstances, could be capable of some very despicable acts. And that's why, over the years, in my movies I've had characters who didn't care what people thought about them. We try to be as true to them as possible and maybe see part of ourselves in there that we may not like.

Martin Scorsese

Some of my films are known for the depiction of violence. I don't have anything to prove with that any more.

Martin Scorsese

Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
