More quotes by Peter Greenaway
I have often thought it was very arrogant to suppose you could make a film for anybody but yourself.
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
Investigation is never complete.
Peter Greenaway
Works of art are never finished, just stopped.
Peter Greenaway
I still would like you to feel the enthusiasm that all those people felt in the twenties and thirties, that indeed we had discovered, with cinema, the great 20th-century, all-embracing medium.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema is dead, long live cinema.
Peter Greenaway
A hand cannot write on itself.
Peter Greenaway
The start of a film is like a gateway, a formal entrance-point. The first three minutes of a film make great demands on an audience's patience and credulity. A great deal has to be learnt very rapidly about place and attitude, character and intent and ambition.
Peter Greenaway
I am Welsh by birth, English by education, and European by nature.
Peter Greenaway
I like a lot of glasses about - it highers the tone.
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
If Good approved of his creature's creation, He breathed the painted clay-model into life by signing His name.
Peter Greenaway
It serves the purpose of not serving a purpose, surely quite a valid one.
Peter Greenaway
Itch to read, scratch to understand.
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
Anybody who writes a diary insists it must be read by someone else.
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
For so many filmmakers, cinema is a means to an end.
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
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.
