Alfred Hitchcock Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Alfred Hitchcock:

There was a big drive when I was at art school to make you aware of the economy of meaning - after all, this was still during the tail end of minimalism. Being responsible for everything you put in your picture, and being able to defend it. Keeping everything clear around you so you know what is operating. To open the wound and keep it clean. Jane Campion

All my work is partly biographical. I mean, 'Crash' was absolutely that, absolutely. But you just wouldn't recognize me in most of those characters. But I was in every single one of those characters in 'Crash,' because those were all fears that I had felt. Things that I had thought in my deepest, darkest heart.

Paul Haggis

The Company of Wolves doesn't belong in any category, so it's difficult to prepare an audience for it. It's not a horror film, it's not a fantasy film, it's not a children's film - so what is it?

Neil Jordan

I like to make films, but the only reason I do is because I'm a very bad musician.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

The film itself should interact with the audience. In the case of 'Queen of Katwe', people are laughing, sobbing and dancing. I am taking them on a ride... It is not like I am asking them for handouts.

Mira Nair

For me, 'The Kite Runner' became about a guy who's emotionally shut down because he hasn't confronted his past.

Marc Forster

My second wife, the mother of one of my sons, died of murder. I was not with her, but I could have saved her. I think.

Alejandro Jodorowsky

I have two young girls, 8 and 10. They really keep me young.

Dino De Laurentiis

One should not evoke violence by acting fearful.

Theo Van Gogh

I love collaborating with people.

Peter Jackson

People just don't laugh when their family is violated, and you don't shrug it off. You band together and you defend together. It's a funny, primitive instinct.

Phillip Noyce

I realized - and I am probably the last person in the world to realize this - that we live our lives with no editing.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Experience is what you get while looking for something else.

Federico Fellini

We'd be working in our motel room through the night, and I'd come up with an idea at two in the morning, and he'd start jumping up and down, pacing across the room, or whatever.

Arthur Hiller

I am not Jewish, but I think that America invented nothing so fine as deli food.

Mike Newell

In 1905 Albert discovered Relativity, in 1906 he invented Rock and Roll.

Yahoo Serious

I love that sense of change that you'd get in pop music every three minutes, every four minutes.

Danny Boyle

I learned with 'The Beach' that I'm a bit better lower down the radar.

Danny Boyle

It's not OK to fail. It's that things can fail and absolutely will go wrong - just keep trying, keep trying, keep trying.

Tosca Musk

You have to have empathy, knowledge and compassion for your characters if you're a writer.

Paul Haggis

I had a feeling about Shakespeare's soliloquies, that there should be a real exchange between the actor and the audience.

Trevor Nunn

To be a film-maker, you have to lead. You have to be psychotic in your desire to do something. People always like the easy route. You have to push very hard to get something unusual, something different.

Danny Boyle

I am trained, and I did do 'The Nutcracker' in its right form, but at the time, they told me I was black and I'd never be in 'Swan Lake.' I went through all those prejudices in the ballet community, and I still emerged wonderfully trained and found my way to Alvin Ailey where there were familiar faces.

Laurieann Gibson

When I was at school, I used to end every school day with fountain pen ink all over my hands and face and down my shirt.

Edgar Wright

When I finish a film, I want to forget it. I never like to repeat myself. Maybe, when I am dead, they will find certain consistencies in the style of my films, but I never want one film to look like another.

Otto Preminger

I will not cut my film because, because, because, because of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Emir Kusturica

Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese.

Luis Bunuel

It's because we are so flooded with American culture that we're startled when we see ourselves up there on the screen.

Yahoo Serious

My mom had very low expectations for me, and she really had a point. I was a big problem at seventeen. If I had a kid like me, I would have those same expectations.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

To me the only real star of the movie is the writer. And I work with writers very closely, from outline to first draft and on to the seventh draft, whatever it takes. Then my job is to support the director to make the best movie we can. Some producers try to go past them, but my job is to support them.

Dino De Laurentiis

If the movie's well made and it's about things that count, people will ultimately see the depth in it.

Roland Joffe

I spend a lot of time doing carpentry. Sometimes there is nothing that gives me the contentment that sawing a piece of wood does.

Abbas Kiarostami

Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.

Uwe Boll

You realise that there's nothing more endearing than people who are desperately trying to be liked or trying to be the hero, you know? Who also probably just need a hug or want to impress their dad?

Taika Waititi

There are a few writers that one has a relationship with that means, basically, you do whatever they say. One is Caryl Churchill, and the other is David Hare.

Stephen Daldry

Three years after starting, by physically doing everything from raising the finance to special effects, we'd finally cobbled together our low budget film.

Yahoo Serious

It turned out that the country was helpless in the face of a new reality.

Andrzej Wajda
