More quotes by Jane Campion
To deny women directors, as I suspect is happening in the States, is to deny the feminine vision.
Jane Campion
If you read Keats's poems, they're often full of doubts and anxieties. They can be quite tough.
Jane Campion
I don't belong to any clubs, and I dislike club mentality of any kind, even feminism - although I do relate to the purpose and point of feminism. More in the work of older feminists, really, like Germaine Greer.
Jane Campion
The Piano Lesson' is very sophisticated, easily the most adult or complex material I've attempted. It's the first film I've written that has a proper story, and it was a big struggle for me to write. It meant I had to admit the power of narrative.
Jane Campion
So many actors are not open in front of the camera - they have a persona.
Jane Campion
Only when you are relaxed can you see what's going on.
Jane Campion
I have to admit that I had a lot of problems with poetry.
Jane Campion
Actual violence has no attraction for me at all.
Jane Campion
When I read Andrew Motion's biography, I wept. It's something about the purity of the story and how fresh it was because of the love letters Keats wrote.
Jane Campion
In some ways Holy Smoke is about people's journey to the heart.
Jane Campion
There are some things that are real, that you can see, that you can observe, like the moon, and grass and things. But for ideas to become real, they have to be played on your senses.
Jane Campion
There was a big drive when I was at art school to make you aware of the economy of meaning - after all, this was still during the tail end of minimalism. Being responsible for everything you put in your picture, and being able to defend it. Keeping everything clear around you so you know what is operating. To open the wound and keep it clean.
Jane Campion
I love it when actors come to you with a problem and you have to listen. You'd like them to just get on with it, but it often means that there's a problem with the script.
Jane Campion
I think if it's interesting, it's interesting, and if it's not, it's not working.
Jane Campion
It's a luxury to be able to tell a long form story. I love novels, and I love to have a long relationship with characters.
Jane Campion
Performers are so vulnerable. They're frightened of humiliation, sure their work will be crap. I try to make an environment where it's warm, where it's OK to fail - a kind of home, I suppose.
Jane Campion
The Piano ended up on television. Everything ends up there anyway.
Jane Campion
That's just how I see things on a base level: there's so much going on. Or at least I like to have that feeling. It's part of being interested in notions of reality apart from storytelling. I don't know if it has something to do with having an art school education, which makes you aware of the way visuals speak, or makes you trust them more.
Jane Campion
What I have learned from my work up to now, is to try to be open, but also protect myself by not letting the good and the evil get too much importance.
Jane Campion
You know, sex is actually not so original as the way people love or the stories behind each relationship, which is what you remember. Sex is sex in the end.
Jane Campion
