More quotes by 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
DAYS THAT I'LL REMEMBER is a lovingly assembled and beautifully written collection of conversations, observations, and memories of music, friendship, and days gone by. It's good to be back again with John Lennon, his beloved Yoko Ono, and his trusted chronicler and friend Jonathan Cott.
Martin Scorsese
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.

Martin Scorsese
As a kid I watched the Academy Awards on television and always wanted one - or several - like one of my favorite directions, John Ford. He won six. On the other hand, Orson Welles, who's on the top of my list, didn't win any. Alfred Hitchcock didn't win any. Howard Hawks didn't win any.
Martin Scorsese
The most important thing is, how can I move forward towards something that I can't articulate, that is new in storytelling with moving images and sound?
Martin Scorsese
Very often I've known people who wouldn't say a word to each other, but they'd go to see movies together and experience life that way.
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
People say you should do it this way, someone else suggests that, yes, there's financing, but maybe you should use this actor. And there are the threats, at the end - if you don't do it this way, you'll lose your box office if you don't do it that way, you'll never get financed again... 35, 40 years of this, you get beat up.
Martin Scorsese
Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. Let the learning continue.
Martin Scorsese
I think there's only one or two films where I've had all the financial support I needed. All the rest, I wish I'd had the money to shoot another ten days.
Martin Scorsese
What the Dalai Lama had to resolve was whether to stay in Tibet or leave. He wanted to stay, but staying would have meant the total destruction of Tibet, because he would have died and that would have ripped the heart out of his people.

If you’re looking for the origins of film culture in America, look no further than Amos Vogel.
Martin Scorsese
The storyboard for me is the way to visualise the entire movie in advance.
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.
