Always get to the set or the location early, so that you can be all alone and draw your inspiration for the blocking and the setups in private and quiet.
Martin Scorsese

Mean Streets dealt with the American Dream, according to which everybody thinks they can get rich quick, and if they can't do it by legal means then they'll do it by illegal ones.

I love movies - it's my whole life, and that's it.
Martin Scorsese
Image
I've been thrown out of schools and fired from jobs. I don't want to work. I can honestly say I haven't done an honest day's work in my life.

I don't know how else to tell the story except to utilise that vocabulary: the rain, the darkness, the mansions, the framing, etc, the lighting and that sort of thing.
Martin Scorsese
Image
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

Watching a Kubrick film is like gazing up at a mountaintop. You look up and wonder, how could anyone have climbed that high?
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
Image
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.

I tried for about two semesters in a preparatory seminary. But I was about 15 and didn't fully understand what a vocation means.

Music and film are inseparable. They always have been and always will be.
