The Screen Is A Magic Medium.

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.

I Haven't Come Across Any Recent New Ideas In Film That Strike Me As Being Particularly Important And That Have To Do With Form. I Think That A Preoccupation With Originality Of Form Is More Or Less A Fruitless Thing. A Truly Original Person With A Truly Original Mind Will Not Be Able To Function In The Old Form And Will Simply Do Something Different. Others Had Much Better Think Of The Form As Being Some Sort Of Classical Tradition And Try To Work Within It.

Everything Has Already Been Done. Every Story Has Been Told Every Scene Has Been Shot. It’s Our Job To Do It One Better.

You're Constantly Changing Man. But The Film's Not Changing. The Film Stays The Same. That's The Beautiful Aspect Of It.

Perhaps It Sounds Ridiculous, But The Best Thing That Young Filmmakers Should Do Is To Get Hold Of A Camera And Some Film And Make A Movie Of Any Kind At All.
