More quotes by 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
You have to tease enough misinformation and lack of information to hopefully make people want more.
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
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
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 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
I have aspirations of making a big, historical epic. I don't know if I'll ever get the money to do it.
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
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
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
You're always against the clock. But really just fighting for quality.
Cary Fukunaga
I've been wanting to make a movie about the war in Sierra Leone, specifically, for more than 15 years.
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
If you have something really important you want to say, you have to read your audience, I guess.
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
When people start talking, things happen.
Cary Fukunaga
Film still looks way better than digital.
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 don't really put trophies out. I don't keep trophies around my apartment.
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.
