 I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.  Jim Morrison 

If my films make one more person miserable, I'll feel I have done my job.  Woody Allen 

If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.  Angelina Jolie 


Life is a B Movie: it's stupid and it's strange, it's a directionless story, the dialogue is lame, but in the 'he said she said' sometimes there's some poetry, if you turn your back long enough and let it happen naturally.  Ani Difranco 

Of all of our inventions for mass communication, 
pictures still speak the most universally understood language.
 Walt Disney

If it's a good movie, the sound could go off 
and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on. Alfred Hitchcock

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
 Stanley Kubrick
