The vampire thing always works for some reason. Always works.
Martin Scorsese
Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. Let the learning continue.
Martin Scorsese
Movies touch our hearts, and awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They take us to other places. They open doors and minds. Movies are the memories of our lifetime. We need to keep them alive.
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
Your job is to get your audience to care about your obsessions.
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
The first element that I connected with was the emotion. Sorry, that's how it goes.
Martin Scorsese

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
I love movies - it's my whole life, and that's it.
Martin Scorsese
Vertigo is probably my favourite Hitchcock film and probably one of my favourite films of all time. It's a film that I'm obsessed with. I saw it on its first release in vista vision, projected in vista-vision, at the Capitol Theatre in New York. That moment when the nun comes up in the end... it's just an extraordinary shot.
Martin Scorsese
I don't agree with everything he did in his life, but we're dealing with this Howard Hughes, at this point. And also ultimately the flaw in Howard Hughes, the curse so to speak.
Martin Scorsese
I always tell the younger filmmakers and students: Do it like the painters used to...Study they old masters. Enrich your palette. Expand the canvas. There's always so much more to learn.
Martin Scorsese
I accept all awards. I like them.
Martin Scorsese
Could you double-check the envelope?
Martin Scorsese
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
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.
Martin Scorsese
I prefer people who don't get caught, and if they do get caught, I prefer people who don't give in.
Martin Scorsese
I'm trying to find out what the hell we - who we are.
Martin Scorsese
You have to put yourself in a situation, a lifestyle, that makes you do the work. Even if it's a monastery.
Martin Scorsese
