More quotes by Martin Scorsese
The creation of the island, or the impression of the island, as it changes in the mind of the character also came in to play... there was another very important collaborator, Rob Legato, on special visual effects. And then ultimately there's Thelma Schoonmaker, who keeps me focused during the editing of the picture.

Zombies, what are you going to do with them? Just keep chopping them up, shooting at them, shooting at them.
Martin Scorsese
The first element that I connected with was the emotion. Sorry, that's how it goes.
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
I'm trying to find out what the hell we - who we are.

I grew up in the Lower East Side, an Italian American - more Sicilian, actually.
Martin Scorsese
In truly great films - the ones that people need to make, the ones that start speaking through them, the ones that keep moving into territory that is more and more unfathomable and uncomfortable - nothing's ever simple or neatly resolved. You're left with a mystery.
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
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'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 always tell the younger filmmakers and students: Do it like the painters used to...Study they old masters. Enrich your palette. Expand the canvas. There's always so much more to learn.
Martin Scorsese
As you grow older, you change.

The most important thing is the script.
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
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.
