Spike Jonze Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Spike Jonze:

I think there's a knee-jerk reaction to things from parents.

I think at the beginning of a project, you decide if you're in love with the idea and what it's about, or what you think it's about at that time at least. Then you commit to it, and once you've commit to it no matter what, no matter how many self doubts you have, you're in it. The ship's sailed, you can't turn around.

I love when me and my friends don't know how to make something - there's that risk of failure, which should be there. If it's guaranteed not to fail, it's something you already know how to do.

I like people that define their own values. I am much more interested in somebody who has their own definition of what they value, their own definition of what success is, their own definition of what love is.

Spike Jonze

I definitely liked the Muppets. I definitely liked Yoda in 'Empire Strikes Back' and Chewbacca. I don't know if I was a fan of puppets or those, like, specific characters.

Spike Jonze

Maurice Sendak never - I remember he said something that was very striking because it's something I never thought about. I always loved his work, and he said, 'I don't really view myself as a children's book author. I just try and write about childhood as honestly as I can.'

Spike Jonze

Whenever I start writing, I try to put together songs that feed the feeling of the movie.

Spike Jonze

I have a home phone number, and I like it! It's like a throwback already.

Spike Jonze

The thing I remember most about having a tantrum is not the rage during the tantrum, but the being freaked out afterwards, and embarrassed, and guilty. It's scary to lose control of yourself.

Spike Jonze

The best videos were the ones where I became friends with the artists first.

Spike Jonze

I always aspire to that, where it feels like the film was made by the characters as opposed to the filmmakers. I try to be invisible.

I loved Fugazi, the D.C. hardcore band, because they always did everything themselves. They had their own label, and the CDs always cost nine dollars, the T-shirts always cost eight dollars, the shows always cost five dollars, no major label.

Me and my friends had BMX magazines and skate magazines, and I was a photographer who made skate videos.

Spike Jonze

I like the idea of the documentary as a portrait. There's not a chronological beginning, middle, and end structure. You build something in the editing room that's shaped by getting to know the person and digging deeper, unpeeling the layers of them as you get to know them.

Spike Jonze

I am better at math than spelling.

Pop music, I think there's a reason why kids connect to it.

Spike Jonze

Johnny Knoxville went from struggling to pay his rent to being on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' in the course of, like, a month.

Nicolas Cage, I would love to work with him again. He's just a fearless madman. He'll go anywhere you want to go. He would not say 'no' to anything.

Spike Jonze

I think there's a knee-jerk reaction to things from parents.

Spike Jonze

I definitely check my phone for texts a lot - like, 'Did anyone text me? Is anyone thinking about me? Does anyone love me?'
