There are movies that change the whole way in which films are made, like Klute, where Gordon Willis’s photography on the film is so textured, and, they said, too dark.

More quotes by Martin Scorsese
My working-class Italian-American parents didn't go to school, there were no books in the house.
Martin Scorsese
I also saw the Dalai Lama a few times.
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
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.
Martin Scorsese
Death comes in a flash, and that's the truth of it, the person's gone in less than 24 frames of film.
Martin Scorsese
I accept all awards. I like them.
Martin Scorsese
I know that I come from mid-20th century America, urban, specifically downtown New York, specifically an Italian-American area, Roman Catholic - that's who I am. And a part of what I know is there's a decency to people who tried to make a living in the kind of world that was around us and also the Skid Row area of the Bowery it impressed me.
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.
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 just wanted to be an ordinary parish priest.
Martin Scorsese
I would ask: Given the nature of free-market capitalism - where the rule is to rise to the top at all costs - is it possible to have a financial industry hero? And by the way, this is not a pop-culture trend we're talking about. There aren't many financial heroes in literature, theater or cinema.
Martin Scorsese
There are times when you have to face your enemies, sit down and deal with it.
Martin Scorsese
The storyboard for me is the way to visualise the entire movie in advance.
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
During Prohibition, Atlantic City created the idea of the speakeasy, which turned into nightclubs and that extraordinary political complexity and corruption coming out of New Jersey at the time. The long hand that they had-and maybe still do-even had to do with presidential elections.
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 wouldn't presume to be God's point of view.
Martin Scorsese
As you grow older, you change.
Martin Scorsese
That subject matter has never left me...The more you're in the material world, the more there is a tendency for a search for serenity and a need to not be distracted by physical elements that are around you.
Martin Scorsese
I think all the great studio filmmakers are dead or no longer working. I don't put myself, my friends, and other contemporary filmmakers in their category. I just see us doing some work.
Martin Scorsese
