More quotes by Martin Scorsese
I'd like to do a number of films. Westerns. Genre pieces. Maybe another film about Italian Americans where they're not gangsters, just to prove that not all Italians are gangsters.
Martin Scorsese
There are movies that change the whole way in which films are made, like Klute, where Gordon Willis’s photography on the film is so textured, and, they said, too dark.
Martin Scorsese
Oh, the foghorns... even the foghorns, they're all brass. It's something by Ingrid Marshal called Fog Tropes. It's not a sound effect. It's an actual piece of music. If you listen to what's going on after he has a flashback about his wife you'll hear... it sounds like the humpback whales in a way. But it's all music. And we use it again later, too.
Martin Scorsese
I didn't realize there are generations who do not know about the origins of film.
Martin Scorsese
There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.
Martin Scorsese
Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
Martin Scorsese
That subject matter has never left me...The more you're in the material world, the more there is a tendency for a search for serenity and a need to not be distracted by physical elements that are around you.
Martin Scorsese
If I'm not complaining, I'm not having a good time, hah hah!
Martin Scorsese
I'm going to be 60, and I'm almost used to myself.
Martin Scorsese
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.
Martin Scorsese
Basically, you make another movie, and another, and hopefully you feel good about every picture you make. And you say, 'My name is on that. I did that. It's OK.' But don't get me wrong, I still get excited by it all. That, I hope, will never disappear.
Martin Scorsese
I think if you think of yourself as religious and if you're given a gift, some may not think it's that great a gift - some critics. But others might, you know. So you say, look - whether it's good, bad or indifferent, this is what I do.
Martin Scorsese
Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. Let the learning continue.
Martin Scorsese
Zombies, what are you going to do with them? Just keep chopping them up, shooting at them, shooting at them.
Martin Scorsese
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
Film in the 20th century, it's the American art form, like jazz.
Martin Scorsese
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
The vampire thing always works for some reason. Always works.
Martin Scorsese
If everything moves along and there are no major catastrophes we're basically headed towards holograms.
Martin Scorsese
More personal films, you could make them, but your budgets would be cut down.
