More quotes by Martin Scorsese
It did remind me of something out of Greek mythology - the richest king who gets everything he wants, but ultimately his family has a curse on it from the Gods.
Martin Scorsese
There's no such thing as simple. Simple is hard.
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
More personal films, you could make them, but your budgets would be cut down.

The storyboard for me is the way to visualise the entire movie in advance.
Martin Scorsese
Basically, you make another movie, and another, and hopefully you feel good about every picture you make. And you say, 'My name is on that. I did that. It's OK.' But don't get me wrong, I still get excited by it all. That, I hope, will never disappear.
Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese
I prefer people who don't get caught, and if they do get caught, I prefer people who don't give in.
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
Music and film are inseparable. They always have been and always will be.
Martin Scorsese
As you grow older, you change.
Martin Scorsese
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.
Martin Scorsese
There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money, and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you, knowing when to accept their criticism, knowing when to say no.
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 grew up in the Lower East Side, an Italian American - more Sicilian, actually.
Martin Scorsese
