Patty Jenkins Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Patty Jenkins:

I grew up in a bit of a feminist fantasy with a single mom. I was totally shielded, in a way, from an idea that I couldn't do something.

It's rare that a character film is easy to fund.

Patty Jenkins

I never want to set a belief that a woman has to direct a woman's film, meaning she can't direct a man's film. If only films can be directed by people who are exactly the same as that, it's only gonna limit all of the women more.

Patty Jenkins

If a film is based on a true story and you don't use anyone's name, you can do what you like.

Patty Jenkins

My fantasy is that I could wake up looking amazing, that I could be strong and stop the bully, but that everybody would love me, too. I think that's intrinsic to fantasy - fantasy is fantasy.

Patty Jenkins

That was devastating to me: how a bright, energetic kid could turn doomed and desperate.

Patty Jenkins

Hollywood is driven by beautiful faces. Always has been.

Patty Jenkins

Being the person who gets to make a movie about Wonder Woman, of course, I take that incredibly seriously. I am a huge Wonder Woman fan, and the aspiration comes totally naturally to me.

Patty Jenkins

I was a closet Journey fan when I was growing up.

Patty Jenkins

As soon as I went to painting school in New York, I took an experimental film course, and everything clicked and came together. I realized my love of music and drama and the visual arts all came together. This happened in 1989. Since then, it's been a long road of educating myself in every possible way.

Patty Jenkins

My father was a fighter pilot, so I moved around the world when I was young. Then I ended up in Kansas.

Patty Jenkins

It's not about superheroes. This is the method of universal storytelling that all people have... To me, they're the same as the Greek myths or the Roman myths or religious figures of every religion. These are common characters that we use to express stories about being a better person or what you would do when faced with various things.

Patty Jenkins

I'm excited to see her power really soar and us have a great time having a great Wonder Woman in our world.

Patty Jenkins

I've been influenced by a lot of films. And a lot of them are the typical interesting, artsy films. But I haven't talked enough about how there are those few big blockbusters that really rock your world.

Patty Jenkins

It is ironic you could make an animated film about a dog that's a universal character, but God forbid it be a human being who is not a man.

Patty Jenkins

Superhero movies are so famous because of the metaphor that they trigger in one's self about who you could be if things were different.

Patty Jenkins

I have a long love of superhero films, and I'd been saying over and over again to my agents at CAA that I'd like to do one.

Patty Jenkins

When I made 'Monster,' I didn't think about it being about a woman. I didn't think about that she was a lesbian. I was telling a story about a specific person who was tragic and looking for love in the world, and the more I could make her you, the more of a victory.

Patty Jenkins

A woman doesn't have to direct a woman's film and a man doesn't have to direct a man's film; otherwise, where would we be?

Patty Jenkins

Who should make a great movie about Wonder Woman? It should be somebody who loves Wonder Woman. And I know that I'm that. So let's go and try.

Patty Jenkins

De Niro didn't gain all that weight to play Jake La Motta just to prove he could get fat - every single one of those transformative things is grounded in the character.

Patty Jenkins

There's a lot of mythological stories you can tell. There's not just one. I appreciate all of those different kinds, but what I was personally missing was grand, classic, true-north hero. Pure and simple emotion, and also aiming for big time emotion, like love story as well, in a very sincere way. Like 'Superman: The Movie' had done for me.

Patty Jenkins

New kinds of heroics need to be celebrated - like love, thoughtfulness, forgiveness, diplomacy - or we're not going to get there.

Patty Jenkins

Any sympathy won for Aileen Wuornos based on a lie is not sympathy at all. The question is, can we have sympathy for the circumstances of someone's life? That's what I was interested in.

Patty Jenkins

To make a masterpiece would be my life's dream.

Patty Jenkins

I have more information than anybody's ever had about this case. I have 7,000 letters from Aileen Wuornos and all the letters between her and her girlfriend.

Patty Jenkins

There's the 7-year-old me that pretended to be Wonder Woman running around the schoolyard. Like, what an incredible thing to imagine that when the bully shows up or the villain, you would be strong enough to do something about it. But, also, you look like Lynda Carter while you're doing it - like, 'Oh, my God.'

Patty Jenkins

The need to look behind the curtain is great for a filmmaker. But whether you want to deconstruct what you like as a viewer, what you like and don't like, I wish we could let films stand on their own a little bit.

Patty Jenkins

I had an interesting moment with 'Wonder Woman' where, when I first thought about doing 'Wonder Woman 2,' I thought, 'Well, these are so intense, making these movies. It's a lot to think about doing more.' But then I had an epiphany, and I thought, 'Oh, it's not more - it's better.'

Patty Jenkins

I think that in superhero movies, they fight other people; they fight villains.

Patty Jenkins

There was a very difficult time when a female hero was a man in a woman's body. 'Hunger Games' really changed that: a woman leading a non-woman's film in the action genre. I think 'Wonder Woman' does that on a very big scale.

Patty Jenkins

When people are crass or loudmouthed, it's not because they don't give a damn. It's from fear and insecurity.

Patty Jenkins

I love a great myth. I love a superhero origin story.

Patty Jenkins

Frankly, I like DVDs having lots of things on it, but I have issues with it as well, too.

Patty Jenkins

I grew up in a bit of a feminist fantasy with a single mom. I was totally shielded, in a way, from an idea that I couldn't do something.

Patty Jenkins

I know that I'm carrying a bit of a weight on my shoulders of what I do represents more than just myself as a director. I wish that wasn't true, but it is. It makes me think about doing work that I believe in and that I believe I can do well, probably even a hair more than I would otherwise.

Patty Jenkins

There's Batman, there's Superman, there's Wonder Woman. She's the full-blown real deal.
