More quotes by Cary Fukunaga
I think that one of the most exciting things about making films is the sort of reaching out to the world. It's as an ambassador. You realize the more you travel that you are a cultural ambassador for your own country. You never become more patriotic than you do living abroad.
Cary Fukunaga
I've been wanting to make a movie about the war in Sierra Leone, specifically, for more than 15 years.
Cary Fukunaga
If you have something really important you want to say, you have to read your audience, I guess.
Cary Fukunaga
You have to tease enough misinformation and lack of information to hopefully make people want more.
Cary Fukunaga
Getting back in the directors chair - there's a sense of like doing something every year. It's not like riding a bike, you're always learning new things, you're gonna face new challenges and when you face new challenges you'll have an answer for them.
Cary Fukunaga
If you really want to tell someone you love them, you don't just go and blurt it out. There's a dance. And your movie does that.
Cary Fukunaga
In a city like New York, especially for young professionals who aren't in a family situation, most people don't cook for themselves. This is the only city I've ever lived in where I eat out every night.
Cary Fukunaga
I'm terrible at making titles. I never like the titles of my films.
Cary Fukunaga
I don't really put trophies out. I don't keep trophies around my apartment.
Cary Fukunaga
They're always surprised with what I want to do and don't want to do. I think they're surprised I don't want to do robo-tech. I don't know, it's like they want me to have a long career. And be prolific and make big movies.
Cary Fukunaga
There's nothing better than finishing something and looking at it. Whether it be a script or a movie, it's this complete little thing that now exists and is hopefully immortal.
Cary Fukunaga
I try not to read too much because what ends up happening is that you ignore the nice reviews and you just focus on the bad reviews. A negative lesson is learned seven times deeper than a positive reinforcement.
Cary Fukunaga
When people start talking, things happen.
Cary Fukunaga
All I kept thinking about was, Man, he's so relaxed onstage! I'm never going to be that relaxed! I'm clearly not meant to be in front of the camera. I'm really not meant for anything but behind the camera.
Cary Fukunaga
I've never watched my films with an everyday audience so it was really crazy to watch people clap at the end of my film - with no one there, no actors, no people from the film. It was just a spontaneous reaction, so I thought that was probably the best compliment you could get from an audience.
Cary Fukunaga
You're always against the clock. But really just fighting for quality.
Cary Fukunaga
It's an important part of being a member of society to know what's happening in the world and to know where you fall in it and what you can do about it.
Cary Fukunaga
If you think of most murders as being between people who know each other, it's very easy to figure out who the killer is. But when you have a murder that appears random, where the person is not someone that's within the known radius of the victim, then it's much, much more difficult to solve.
Cary Fukunaga
Even on my films, I always collaborate with the actors. That's a given. I think you need that. You need the actors to feel as much ownership of the performance and the direction of the story as you do, to get the most out of everyone's potential.
Cary Fukunaga
I want to be happy while I make movies and not just do things just to work. I want to do things I spend years on.
Cary Fukunaga
