You should look straight at a film; that's the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates. ↗

The big studio era is from the coming of sound until 1950, until I came in... I came in at a crux in film, which was the end of the studio era and the rise of filmmaking. ↗

I'd never watch a horror film, but after I found out I was going to be in one, I watched, like, four of them, including The Shining, I was terrified - I couldn't sleep for days. But I wanted to get myself used to things I was going to see on the set. ↗

We've been working with the very best in the business. The studio really just let us alone to make the films. ↗

All we try and do is make the best films we can. If you do that then hopefully the audiences will come, and they have. Everything else is gravy. ↗

I look forward to having the time and the opportunity to take on new challenges, but I'm also aware that I've loved every minute of the 'Potter 'experience: to make films for an enthusiastic audience and work with great material. ↗

As a filmmaker I find it much more rewarding to work with actors who are classically trained. It's about the work and only the work. ↗

Generally in my films like 'Hearts of Darkness' or 'Picture This,' I try not to make myself a presence in the film. ↗

I think that narrative, fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater, art history, architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema, like cinema verite is film in its purest form. ↗

I was very inspired by Les Blank's film 'Burden of Dreams.' I think what's unique about his film and the two I've made is that they're close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they're rendering, and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives. ↗
