Could you double-check the envelope?
Martin Scorsese
Image
I grew up within Italian-American neighborhoods, everybody was coming into the house all the time, kids running around, that sort of stuff, so when I finally got into my own area, so to speak, to make films, I still carried on.
Martin Scorsese
Image
There's a way that the force of disappointment can be alchemized into something that will paradoxically renew you.
Martin Scorsese
Image
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
Image
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.
Martin Scorsese
Image
I don't like being in houses alone.
Martin Scorsese
Image
If we just sit and exist, and understand that, I think it will be helpful in a world that seems like a record that's going faster and faster, we're spinning off the edge of the universe.

The vampire thing always works for some reason. Always works.
Martin Scorsese

When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.
Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese
Image
I also saw the Dalai Lama a few times.
Martin Scorsese
Image
I love movies - it's my whole life, and that's it.
Martin Scorsese
Image
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

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
Image
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.

You don't make pictures for Oscars.
Martin Scorsese
Image
There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.

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.'
