Michael Pitt Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Michael Pitt:

I'm going to write films, star in films, direct films. Write records. Perform live.

What I've learned - after working for, I guess, some time now - is when you're approaching a relationship like that, like, any working relationship, it's good to be open. To know that someone might have a different way of doing things and listen to them. And hopefully, you come to a common understanding.

A kid now can practically record a song or edit a short film on his way to school. I think that will produce, perhaps, more less-interesting things - or you'll have to search more to find the interesting things. But I also think it's exciting.

Michael Pitt

I'm going to write films, star in films, direct films. Write records. Perform live.

Michael Pitt

Personally, I'm very classic. If I'm going to wear a suit, it's going to be classic, black, and fit very well. There's nothing like it.

Michael Pitt

'Dawson's Creek' was my introduction to the industry. It put some money in my pocket and it put me in the position I wanted to be in, where I could audition for projects that I wanted to be a part of. I didn't find it creatively fulfilling in any way though.

Michael Pitt

Different films have different places in people's lives. I don't get to see a lot of films, so I want to watch films I learn from.

Michael Pitt

People don't want to be plagued by not knowing-they want answers.

Michael Pitt

I think Van Sant is the most important American director we have. He takes the most risks. He's just pure to me.

Michael Pitt

Well, the first thing I wanted to be was a carpenter. Then I wanted to be a painter and then a singer. It was when I first saw 'Lawrence of Arabia' that I wanted to be an actor.

Michael Pitt

If I cared what people think about my career, I would have not done - just look at my work. Don't look at me; look at what I've done.

Michael Pitt

'Boardwalk' begins literally on the first day of Prohibition, which I think was a wonderful way to start - to have the story kind of come out of this massive historical phenomenon. And the more I researched the '20s, the more I discovered just how interesting it was.

Michael Pitt

Your experiences are what made you what you are today. So when tragedy happens in people's lives, and things are left unsaid, it can be very unsettling. The lack of closure can linger.

Michael Pitt

It sounds cliche, but success is your friends, your family, what you do, and if you're happy when you wake up.

Michael Pitt

Film is a collaborative art form. If you're not being collaborative, you probably shouldn't be working in film. You don't do it on your own. People who understand that, cultivate that, get the best results.

Michael Pitt

All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that.

Michael Pitt

I don't really have hobbies. I paint. I write. I direct videos. I take photos. I'm a creative person. A normal day for me is doing all of those things. Sometimes I stay up until 5 A.M. writing a song because I make music. It's the same with writing.

Michael Pitt

I have fun making films. I love making films. It's the only thing I know how to do. And I do it well.

Michael Pitt

I don't have a lot of time to surf the net and see what everyone's wearing.

Michael Pitt

Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted.

Michael Pitt

When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.

Michael Pitt

There are two kinds of directors: There's the kind where two plus two equals four, and you have to help them figure it out. And then there's the kind that throws you in a room, locks the door, sets the house on fire and films it.

Michael Pitt

I think in some ways you learn more from the things you don't like than the things you do.

Michael Pitt

I'm doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it.

Michael Pitt

I feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment.

Michael Pitt

When I make movies, I have a lot of respect for my audience. I think my audience is smart. If there's a way to be entertained and get things out - real things, not stupid moral crap - that's the best.

Michael Pitt

Writers, directors often can get too precious with their words.

Michael Pitt

To be honest, I make very controversial films. The films that I've made have been very, very bold choices.

Michael Pitt

I'm not prejudiced about what type of movies I'm in, what form they take or whether they're studio or independent. I just want to make films that are going to be good.

Michael Pitt

I think people can just make things now. It's kind of what happened with the music industry. Before, a band couldn't afford to go into a nice studio, or if they were going to go into a nice studio, they had to record twenty-five songs in two days. That's not a healthy workflow for anyone.
