More quotes by Peter Greenaway
The Sistine Chapel is an extraordinary work of education - it lays out all the early books of the Bible.
Peter Greenaway
I like a lot of glasses about - it highers the tone.
Peter Greenaway
It serves the purpose of not serving a purpose, surely quite a valid one.
Peter Greenaway
One of my heroes, almost necessarily from what I'm saying, of course, is Borges, who is a supreme master of doing thing -- being a data bank -- and the beauty of this economy is that he could have written War and Peace in three or four pages who knows, it might have been a better book.
Peter Greenaway
I don't believe that one has to tear down the cinema screen in order to renew cinema. But new input and new energy are lacking. They are flowing above all into the television technologies. We must, therefore, concentrate on the CD-ROM.
Peter Greenaway
For so many filmmakers, cinema is a means to an end.
Peter Greenaway
In a world where we can all be our own filmmakers, the old elites are disappearing and there is no desire to look at somebody else's dream anymore because you can go off and make your own.
Peter Greenaway
I wanted to make a cinema of ideas, not plots, and to use the same aesthetics as painting, which has always paid great attention to formal devices of structure, composition and framing.
Peter Greenaway
I don't believe in the deplorable notion of realism in the cinema: you can over-reach it, and it becomes as false as convention.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema has reached a dead end.
Peter Greenaway
A hand cannot write on itself.
Peter Greenaway
Works of art are never finished, just stopped.
Peter Greenaway
We are all united by the phenomenon that we have a body and that body is universally the same, more or less. If we lose sight of that perspective, everything can desperately suffer.
Peter Greenaway
If you're a Shakespeare fan, isn't that a way to negotiate sex and death?
Peter Greenaway
Cinema is dead, long live cinema.
Peter Greenaway
Eisenstein was a good editor. I was trained as a film editor, and I've no doubt that the editor is key to a film.
Peter Greenaway
Anybody who writes a diary insists it must be read by someone else.
Peter Greenaway
I admit that death is not just about you, it's also about the people who love you.
Peter Greenaway
If every man is supposed to think of sex once every nine minutes, what on earth does he think of in the other eight?
Peter Greenaway
Since Caesar, we know his historians are liars. The good writers get read. Bad history doesn't get read.
Peter Greenaway
