More quotes by 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
Could you double-check the envelope?
Martin Scorsese
The first element that I connected with was the emotion. Sorry, that's how it goes.
Martin Scorsese
My father had this mythological sense of the old New York, and he used to tell me stories about these old gangs, particularly the Forty Thieves in the Fourth Ward.
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
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
There's a way that the force of disappointment can be alchemized into something that will paradoxically renew you.
Martin Scorsese
Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you're in your 60s and you're with the kid every day, you're dealing with the mind of a child, so it opens up that childishness in you again.
Martin Scorsese
Film in the 20th century, it's the American art form, like jazz.
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
My working-class Italian-American parents didn't go to school, there were no books in the house.
Martin Scorsese
I didn't realize there are generations who do not know about the origins of film.
Martin Scorsese
More than ninety percent of directing a picture is the right casting
Martin Scorsese
The vampire thing always works for some reason. Always works.
Martin Scorsese
I wouldn't presume to be God's point of view.
Martin Scorsese
Our world is so glutted with useless information, images, useless images, sounds, all this sort of thing. It's a cacophony, it's like a madness I think that's been happening in the past twenty-five years. And I think anything that can help a person sit in a room alone and not worry about it is good.
Martin Scorsese
Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. Let the learning continue.
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
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
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
