David Lynch, Filmmaker
"...the money is not the goal for me. The goal is to realize those ideas and that's the thrill; to make a new world that people can go into and that is magical. "

Wim Wenders, Filmmaking
"As soon as you start making your film you really have to fight, eh? ... and to even hurt. And even if I do have renown of being gentle, I know that I hurt a lot of people shooting the American films. So, directors are ... well, they're very close to the mafia. I mean they kill people as well. Samuel Fuller, for instance ... killed 2 or 3 stuntmen during the shooting of his films."

Sidney Lumet, Filmmaker
"For whatever reason, producers and studio executives sit in the back row. I'm convinced it's because they hate movies and want to be as far away from the screen as possible."
~ Sidney Lumet, Filmmaker

David Lynch, Filmmaker
"All my movies are about strange worlds that you can't go into unless you build them and film them. That's what's so important about film to me. I just like going into strange worlds."
~ David Lynch, Filmmaker
Alexander Olch, Filmmaker
"What I’d learned through documentary was that if you can stay away from the lights and the actors and the sets, if you could find a way to tell the story with just the camera, then you can do it inexpensively."
~ Alexander Olch, Filmmaker

Jean-Luc Godard, Filmmaker
"The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t."
Jean-Luc Godard
Quoted in Richard Roud, Godard, introduction (1970).

Tarsem Singh, Filmmaker
“I told my father I wanted to study film and he said there was no way he was gonna let me do that. I made my way to Los Angeles, and made a film that won a scholarship to the Art Center College of Design. My father thought I was headed for Harvard. I called him and said, ‘I want to study film,’ and he said, ‘You don’t exist anymore’.”

James Broughton - Filmmaker, Writer, Poet
"The secret name of cinema is transformation"
Cinema is “both a mirror and ever-expanding eye. It creates what it sees and destroys what it does not see...[it] is a lie which makes us see the truth"

Boy and Dog in a Johnypump - Jean-Michel Basquiat
“Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump is a monumental work dating from 1982, when Basquiat reached the zenith of his talent. As is usual in Basquiat, the composition is simple, but the whole painting is a neo-expressionist ‘tour-de-force’ in which the usually pleasant scene of a boy playing with his dog is painted with the rabid energy of a primitive work of Art.”
