I don't know how else to tell the story except to utilise that vocabulary: the rain, the darkness, the mansions, the framing, etc, the lighting and that sort of thing.

More quotes by 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
There's no such thing as simple. Simple is hard.
Martin Scorsese
I was saying as a joke the other day that I love film editing, I know how to cut a picture, I think I know how to shoot it, but I don't know how to light it. And I realize it's because I didn't grow up with light. I grew up in tenements.
Martin Scorsese
As a child I had terrible asthma.
Martin Scorsese
Violence is not the answer, it doesn’t work any more. We are at the end of the worst century in which the greatest atrocities in the history of the world have occurred... The nature of human beings must change. We must cultivate love and compassion.
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 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
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
You don't make pictures for Oscars.
Martin Scorsese
The first element that I connected with was the emotion. Sorry, that's how it goes.
Martin Scorsese
Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
Martin Scorsese
I happen to like vampires more than zombies.
Martin Scorsese
The most important thing is the script.
Martin Scorsese
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.
Martin Scorsese
Young film makers should learn how to deal with the money and learn how to deal with the power structure. Because it is like a battle.
Martin Scorsese
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.
Martin Scorsese
The storyboard for me is the way to visualise the entire movie in advance.
Martin Scorsese
More than ninety percent of directing a picture is the right casting
Martin Scorsese
Film in the 20th century, it's the American art form, like jazz.
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
