Hollywood doesn't believe in the death penalty for anyone except people who get cable TV without paying for it. Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.

More quotes by Michelangelo Antonioni
Life should be taken ironically otherwise, it becomes a tragedy.
Michelangelo Antonioni
In any case, the idea of giving all of reality is overly simple and absurd.
Michelangelo Antonioni
There's much talk about the problems of youth, but young people are not a problem. It's a natural evolution of things. We, who have known only how to make war and slaughter people, have no right to judge them, nor can we teach them anything.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A man who renounces something is also a man who believes in something.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The greatest danger for those working in the cinema is the extraordinary possibility it offers for lying.
Michelangelo Antonioni
You can't go to an LSD or pot party unless you take it yourself. If I want to go, I must take drugs myself.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I simply know what the actor's attitude should be and what he should say. He doesn't, because he can't see the relationship that begins to exist between his body and the other things in the scene.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I can't give any absolute definition of what love is, or even whether it ought to exist.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I've always dreamed of getting to know the women of other countries better. When I was a boy, I remember, I used to get angry at the thought that I did not know German or American or Swedish women.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I want my characters to suggest the background in themselves, even when it is not visible. I want them to be so powerfully realized that we cannot imagine them apart from their physical and social context even when we see them in empty space.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Reality has a quality of freedom about it that is hard to explain.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A woman's sex appeal is an inner matter. It stems from her mental make-up, basically. It's an attitude, not just a question of her physical features - that arrogant quality in a woman's femininity. Otherwise, all beautiful women would have sex appeal, which is not so.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I didn't like university life much at Bologna. The subjects I studied - economics and business administration - didn't interest me. I wanted to make films. I was glad when I was graduated. Yet it's odd on graduation day, I was overcome with a terrible sadness. I realized that my youth was over and now the struggle had begun.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A scene has to have a rhythm of its own, a structure of its own.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I am neither a sociologist nor a politician. All I can do is imagine for myself what the future will be like.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I've made films about the middle classes because I know them best. Everyone talks about what he knows best.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I read somewhere that happiness is like the bluebird of Maeterlinck: Try to catch it and it loses its color. It's like trying to hold water in your hands. The more you squeeze it, the more the water runs away.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The script is simply a series of notes for the film.
