More quotes by Cary Fukunaga
The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story, based on who's embodying it.
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
I'm terrible at making titles. I never like the titles of my films.
Cary Fukunaga
If you have something really important you want to say, you have to read your audience, I guess.
Cary Fukunaga
Every single substitute teacher growing up could not pronounce my name, so whenever someone pauses, I'm like, Oh, that's me.
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
Film still looks way better than digital.
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
Levity, you need levity to feel anything. You need to laugh before you cry. I think films that take themselves too seriously without any levity are missing an important ingredient to the potential emotional impact of their stories.
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
Everyone wants to be liked, so of course you want critical acclaim. After that, box office acclaim isn't bad. More than anything I think you have to try and make something you're proud of.
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 just have a hard time displaying things.
Cary Fukunaga
You're always against the clock. But really just fighting for quality.
Cary Fukunaga
I have tremendous faith that there will be greater films to come.
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
It's nice to represent to other people in the world that Americans actually do know what's happening in the world, can speak other languages and are conscientious. The perception quite often is that we don't know what's beyond our county line.
Cary Fukunaga
I'm pretty hard to impress, and I'm pretty exacting, in terms of what I want from my props department and art department. We spend many, many hours going over visual research and finding the right artists to create the material.
Cary Fukunaga
I don't really put trophies out. I don't keep trophies around my apartment.
