If it's a modern-day story dealing with certain ethnic groups, I think I could open up certain scenes for improvisation, while staying within the structure of the script.

More quotes by 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've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
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
I still dislike phones, yeah!
Martin Scorsese
There's a way that the force of disappointment can be alchemized into something that will paradoxically renew you.
Martin Scorsese
Howard Hughes was this visionary who was obsessed with speed and flying like a god... I loved his idea of what filmmaking was.
Martin Scorsese
The only thing I really wanted was the freedom to be able to get what I want on film. I’ve dealt with the MPAA since 1973, so I know how to renegotiate and rework.
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 don't like being in houses alone.
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 remember the Korean War very well. And I remember the soldiers who were POWs who supposedly were brainwashed, quote, unquote, who gave in, so to speak. And when they came back, they were treated like pariahs and traitors.
Martin Scorsese
Music and film are inseparable. They always have been and always will be.
Martin Scorsese
I wouldn't presume to be God's point of view.
Martin Scorsese
Eradicating a religion of kindness is, I think, a terrible thing for the Chinese to attempt.
Martin Scorsese
I happen to like vampires more than zombies.
Martin Scorsese
I don't think there is any difference between fantasy and reality in the way these should be approached in a film. Of course if you live that way you are clinically insane.
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
I think what happened there was just the budget would be too big to build these sets because nothing really exists here in New York of that period you have to build it all.
Martin Scorsese
The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings.
Martin Scorsese
There is something particularly unique about the films of Hong Sang-soo...it's got to do with his masterful sense of storytelling... as the critic Manny Farber once said of Hitchcock's ROPE Hong Sang-soo's pictures unpeel like an orange.
Martin Scorsese
