The most important thing is the script.
Martin Scorsese
Image
Our world is so glutted with useless information, images, useless images, sounds, all this sort of thing. It's a cacophony, it's like a madness I think that's been happening in the past twenty-five years. And I think anything that can help a person sit in a room alone and not worry about it is good.
Martin Scorsese
Image
Music and film are inseparable. They always have been and always will be.
Martin Scorsese
Image
More than ninety percent of directing a picture is the right casting
Martin Scorsese
Image
Young film makers should learn how to deal with the money and learn how to deal with the power structure. Because it is like a battle.

You've got to protect whatever creative talent you have left.

The creation of the island, or the impression of the island, as it changes in the mind of the character also came in to play... there was another very important collaborator, Rob Legato, on special visual effects. And then ultimately there's Thelma Schoonmaker, who keeps me focused during the editing of the picture.
Martin Scorsese

I think all the great studio filmmakers are dead or no longer working. I don't put myself, my friends, and other contemporary filmmakers in their category. I just see us doing some work.
Martin Scorsese
Image
The first element that I connected with was the emotion. Sorry, that's how it goes.
Martin Scorsese
Image
I wouldn't presume to be God's point of view.

If you’re looking for the origins of film culture in America, look no further than Amos Vogel.

The vampire thing always works for some reason. Always works.
Martin Scorsese
Image
Film in the 20th century, it's the American art form, like jazz.
Martin Scorsese
Image
Sometimes God picks you up and tells you, You've been messing around now. You're going to have to stop this, stop that, but I'll give you another chance. And you wonder why you're given another chance. It must be for something it must be to celebrate life.
Martin Scorsese

I grew up in the Lower East Side, an Italian American - more Sicilian, actually.
Martin Scorsese
Image
I would ask: Given the nature of free-market capitalism - where the rule is to rise to the top at all costs - is it possible to have a financial industry hero? And by the way, this is not a pop-culture trend we're talking about. There aren't many financial heroes in literature, theater or cinema.

It did remind me of something out of Greek mythology - the richest king who gets everything he wants, but ultimately his family has a curse on it from the Gods.
