More quotes by Martin Scorsese
When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.
Martin Scorsese
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.
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.
Martin Scorsese
You don't make pictures for Oscars.
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 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
I didn't realize there are generations who do not know about the origins of film.
Martin Scorsese
People say you should do it this way, someone else suggests that, yes, there's financing, but maybe you should use this actor. And there are the threats, at the end - if you don't do it this way, you'll lose your box office if you don't do it that way, you'll never get financed again... 35, 40 years of this, you get beat up.
Martin Scorsese
I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
Martin Scorsese
I'm going to be 60, and I'm almost used to myself.
Martin Scorsese
One of the things is that the good intentions of Prohibition, from reading over the years and from becoming obsessed with the research of gangs in New York City, seems to have allowed crime figures at the time, like Luciano, Capone, Torrio and Rothstein, to organize to become more powerful, which pulled all the way through until the '70s.
Martin Scorsese
I also saw the Dalai Lama a few times.
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
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
Zombies, what are you going to do with them? Just keep chopping them up, shooting at them, shooting at them.
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
My working-class Italian-American parents didn't go to school, there were no books in the house.
Martin Scorsese
I accept all awards. I like them.
Martin Scorsese
The term 'giant' is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits.
Martin Scorsese
Oh, the foghorns... even the foghorns, they're all brass. It's something by Ingrid Marshal called Fog Tropes. It's not a sound effect. It's an actual piece of music. If you listen to what's going on after he has a flashback about his wife you'll hear... it sounds like the humpback whales in a way. But it's all music. And we use it again later, too.
Martin Scorsese
