More quotes by Paul Greengrass

Paul Greengrass

Paul Greengrass
There's a film you write, there's a film you shoot, and there's a film that you cut - and they're all different.
Paul Greengrass
You sort of can't talk about the post production unless you talk about what comes first.
Paul Greengrass
The actor's job is to divine and embody the truth, and find it.
Paul Greengrass
You face challenges and you have to make choices. You're weighing the necessary responsibility toward reality and authenticity and of course the need to create a compressed drama over two hours.
Paul Greengrass
I think when you think of my films, I think hopefully you think of an extreme sort of real unfolding, real-time, performed, feeling semi-improvised, you know what I mean, all that.
