More quotes by Michelangelo Antonioni
The struggle for life is not only the material and economic one. Comfort is no protection from anxiety.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Often to understand, we have to look into emptiness.
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 want an actor to try to give me what I ask in the best and most exact way possible. He mustn't try to find out more, because then there's the danger that he'll become his own director.
Michelangelo Antonioni
You know what I would like to do: make a film with actors standing in empty space so that the spectator would have to imagine the background of the characters.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The script is simply a series of notes for the film.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I've made films about the middle classes because I know them best. Everyone talks about what he knows best.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The greatest danger for those working in the cinema is the extraordinary possibility it offers for lying.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I can't give any absolute definition of what love is, or even whether it ought to exist.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I'm not rich and maybe I'll never be rich. Money is useful - yes - but I don't worship it.
Michelangelo Antonioni
I believe in the autobiographical concept only to the degree that I am able to put onto film all that's passing through my head at the moment of shooting.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Life should be taken ironically otherwise, it becomes a tragedy.
Michelangelo Antonioni
A scene has to have a rhythm of its own, a structure of its own.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Nothing regarding man is ever inhuman. That's why I make films, not iceboxes.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Everyone has understood me in his own way. But I would have to understand myself first in order to judge - and so far, I haven't.
Michelangelo Antonioni
The family today counts for less and less. Why? Who knows - the growth of science, the Cold War, the atomic bomb, the world war we've made, the new philosophies we've created certainly something is happening to man, so why go against it, why oblige this new man to live by the mechanisms and regulations of the past?
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
I forget about the relationship between myself and any actress when working with her.
Michelangelo Antonioni
Sometimes actors' mistakes give me ideas I can use, because mistakes are always sincere, absolutely sincere.
Michelangelo Antonioni
