More quotes by Martin Scorsese

Image
I grew up in the Lower East Side, an Italian American - more Sicilian, actually.
Martin Scorsese
Image
Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you're in your 60s and you're with the kid every day, you're dealing with the mind of a child, so it opens up that childishness in you again.
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
There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.
Martin Scorsese
Image
The most important thing is the script.
Martin Scorsese
Image
I don't agree with everything he did in his life, but we're dealing with this Howard Hughes, at this point. And also ultimately the flaw in Howard Hughes, the curse so to speak.
Martin Scorsese

You've got to protect whatever creative talent you have left.
Martin Scorsese
Image
As a child I had terrible asthma.
Martin Scorsese
Image
Your job is to get your audience to care about your obsessions.
Martin Scorsese
Image
I remember the Korean War very well. And I remember the soldiers who were POWs who supposedly were brainwashed, quote, unquote, who gave in, so to speak. And when they came back, they were treated like pariahs and traitors.
Martin Scorsese
Image
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
Image
I'm in a different chapter of my life. As time goes by and I grow older, I find that I need to just be quiet and think. There have been periods when I've locked myself away for days, but now it's different - I'm married and we have a daughter who is in my office the whole time.
Martin Scorsese
Image
I don't like being in houses alone.
Martin Scorsese
Image
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
Image
There's no such thing as simple. Simple is hard.
Martin Scorsese
Image
When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.
Martin Scorsese
Image
My films really have to be a part of a whole body of work that says something to me.
