More quotes by Peter Greenaway
We live in a time of excess - excess population, excess information.
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
What are you - some kind of addict? Is this where you come to.
Peter Greenaway
I got in trouble with the stern-faced Russians who didn't want me to create a guy who is mortal.
Peter Greenaway
Imagine a world where nothing is stable. In the West, we have three moving elements -- Air, Fire, Water -- but at least we can depend on the fourth.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema basically examines a personality first and the body afterward.
Peter Greenaway
I have often thought it was very arrogant to suppose you could make a film for anybody but yourself.
Peter Greenaway
If Good approved of his creature's creation, He breathed the painted clay-model into life by signing His name.
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
I don't think we've seen any cinema yet. I think we've seen 100 years of illustrated text.
Peter Greenaway
I think that films or indeed any art work should be made in a way that they are infinitely viewable so that you could go back to it time and time again, not necessarily immediately but over a space of time, and see new things in it, or new ways of looking at it.
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
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.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema has reached a dead end.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema is dead, long live cinema.
Peter Greenaway
For so many filmmakers, cinema is a means to an end.
Peter Greenaway
If you're a Shakespeare fan, isn't that a way to negotiate sex and death?
Peter Greenaway
I was continually connected with the whole world and never got any rest. At the moment, I spend only a few hours weekly on the net, that's just better for me.
Peter Greenaway
Words reproduce themselves pleasurably too.
Peter Greenaway
