Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing. ↗

My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like a dig. ↗

A message I've been telling myself: the cinema is very conservative, and unless you have a story that satisfies you, that is within the unchallenging zone, but you love it, you can't do it as cinema. Otherwise, you better go do it for television, which is more daring now. ↗

— Jane Campion

It's shocking to say, but the cinema is quite a while away from me, and I haven't got a car yet. ↗

The essence of cinema is editing. It's the combination of what can be extraordinary images of people during emotional moments, or images in a general sense, put together in a kind of alchemy. ↗

Cinema Paradiso, because it reminds me of why I make movies, the magic of movies, the romance of movies. ↗

Realism is always subjective in film. There's no such thing as cinema verite. The only true cinema verite would be what Andy Warhol did with his film about the Empire State Building - eight hours or so from one angle, and even then it's not really cinema verite, because you aren't actually there. ↗

I try to get closer to reality, to get close to the contradictions. The cinema world can be a real world rather than a dream world. ↗
