I don’t want it good. I want it Tuesday.

Jack L. Warner

Filmmaking is not about film or sprockets. It’s about ideas, it’s
about images, it’s about imagination, it’s about storytelling.

James Cameron

Think of the power that’s in the universe - moving the earth,
growing the trees. That’s the same power within you, if you’ll only
have the courage and the will to use it.

~Charlie Chaplain

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

You can’t copy a film. If I hold a camera, it’s different than if Irving Penn holds it. Even if it’s in the same place, it will magically take on his character.
