I don't like being in houses alone.
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.

Hong Kong cinema is something you can't duplicate anyway.

I grew up in the Lower East Side, an Italian American - more Sicilian, actually.

There is something particularly unique about the films of Hong Sang-soo...it's got to do with his masterful sense of storytelling... as the critic Manny Farber once said of Hitchcock's ROPE Hong Sang-soo's pictures unpeel like an orange.
Martin Scorsese

The first element that I connected with was the emotion. Sorry, that's how it goes.
Martin Scorsese

I just wanted to be an ordinary parish priest.

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
Image
Music and film are inseparable. They always have been and always will be.
Martin Scorsese
Image
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
Image
You have to put yourself in a situation, a lifestyle, that makes you do the work. Even if it's a monastery.
Martin Scorsese
Image
When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.

The only way I was able to defend myself was to be able to take punishment. Then I got a lot of respect. They said, Oh, he's okay, he can take it. Don't hit him. The guys were pretty big, and I had asthma.

The only thing I really wanted was the freedom to be able to get what I want on film. I’ve dealt with the MPAA since 1973, so I know how to renegotiate and rework.
