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.

More quotes by Martin Scorsese
The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings.
Martin Scorsese
The vampire thing always works for some reason. Always works.
Martin Scorsese
Sometimes God picks you up and tells you, You've been messing around now. You're going to have to stop this, stop that, but I'll give you another chance. And you wonder why you're given another chance. It must be for something it must be to celebrate life.
Martin Scorsese
If it's a modern-day story dealing with certain ethnic groups, I think I could open up certain scenes for improvisation, while staying within the structure of the script.
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
I don't like being in houses alone.
Martin Scorsese
We cannot burn Mick Jagger. We want the effect, but we can't burn him.
Martin Scorsese
When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.
Martin Scorsese
Watching a Kubrick film is like gazing up at a mountaintop. You look up and wonder, how could anyone have climbed that high?
Martin Scorsese
Vertigo is probably my favourite Hitchcock film and probably one of my favourite films of all time. It's a film that I'm obsessed with. I saw it on its first release in vista vision, projected in vista-vision, at the Capitol Theatre in New York. That moment when the nun comes up in the end... it's just an extraordinary shot.
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
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
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
I don't think there is any difference between fantasy and reality in the way these should be approached in a film. Of course if you live that way you are clinically insane.
Martin Scorsese
Could you double-check the envelope?
Martin Scorsese
You don't make pictures for Oscars.

I tried for about two semesters in a preparatory seminary. But I was about 15 and didn't fully understand what a vocation means.
Martin Scorsese
There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.
Martin Scorsese
Working with HBO was an opportunity to experience creative freedom and 'long-form development' that filmmakers didn't have a chance to do before the emergence of shows like 'The Sopranos.'
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
