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
The storyboard for me is the way to visualise the entire movie in advance.
Martin Scorsese
Zombies, what are you going to do with them? Just keep chopping them up, shooting at them, shooting at them.
Martin Scorsese
Well the thing is that the New York of 1846 to 1862 was very different from downtown New York now. Really nothing from that period still exists in New York.
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
Music and film are inseparable. They always have been and always will be.
Martin Scorsese
My working-class Italian-American parents didn't go to school, there were no books in the house.
Martin Scorsese
Rock & roll seemed to just come to us, on the radio and in the record stores. It became our music. . . But then we uncovered another, deeper level, the history behind rock and R&B, the music behind our music. All roads led to the source, which was the blues.
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
I don't like being in houses alone.
Martin Scorsese
You don't make pictures for Oscars.
Martin Scorsese
I also saw the Dalai Lama a few times.
Martin Scorsese
You've got to love something enough to kill it.
Martin Scorsese
There was always a part of me that wanted to be an old-time director. But I couldn't do that. I'm not a pro.
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
I happen to like vampires more than zombies.
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
I'm going to be 60, and I'm almost used to myself.
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
Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. Let the learning continue.
Martin Scorsese
