There's more religion in my little finger than there is in the pope. But no, I don't believe in God. I am an athiest. A Darwinian evolutionist.

More quotes by Peter Greenaway
I have transmitted genetic material, all I have to do between my daughters' birth and my death is to decorate my life.
Peter Greenaway
It seems so tragic to me that so many filmmakers are making movies up against this extra-ordinary revolution with one eye closed and two hands tied behind their backs.
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
I also think that everyone has an elitist approach to his own art, a complex knowledge of it, whether he is a clockmaker or an engineer. And I think it's perfectly legitimate to make use of this knowledge because it enriches the overall texture of life.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema is dead, long live cinema.
Peter Greenaway
The Sistine Chapel is an extraordinary work of education - it lays out all the early books of the Bible.
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
I do indeed think that cinema is mortal. There is a lot of evidence already that it is dying on its feet.
Peter Greenaway
My personal obsessions are much more interesting to me than other people's.
Peter Greenaway
American actors are coy. We all have pricks and cunts, or are you different from the rest of us?
Peter Greenaway
We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality.
Peter Greenaway
I went to art school, and every Tuesday and Friday we drew the nude. If you look at Western painting, male and female nudes are in the center of every painting. It's difficult and exciting to draw the nude. Why get so upset about this? It's our duty to break taboos.
Peter Greenaway
Investigation is never complete.
Peter Greenaway
If you're a Shakespeare fan, isn't that a way to negotiate sex and death?
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
I like a lot of glasses about - it highers the tone.
Peter Greenaway
Anybody who writes a diary insists it must be read by someone else.
Peter Greenaway
The pretence that numbers are not the humble creation of man, but are the exacting language of the Universe and therefore possess the secret of all things, is comforting, terrifying and mesmeric.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema has reached a dead end.
Peter Greenaway
I have always had severe problems with Austrians. ... Musical, churchy, uptight... nice legs... hypocritical... authoritarian... always insist their dustbins are very clean.
Peter Greenaway
