More quotes by Peter Greenaway
The game Flights of Fancy or Reverse Strip Jump is played from as high a jumping-point as a competitor will dare. After each successful jump, the competitor is allowing to put on an article of clothing. Thirteen jumps is normally more than enough to see a competitor fully dressed for the day.
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
I am Welsh by birth, English by education, and European by nature.
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
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
We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality.
Peter Greenaway

Peter Greenaway

Peter Greenaway
If you're a Shakespeare fan, isn't that a way to negotiate sex and death?
Peter Greenaway

Peter Greenaway
Investigation is never complete.
Peter Greenaway
A hand cannot write on itself.
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
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
A really intelligent man makes an indifferent painter. For painting requires a certain blindness, a partial refusal to be aware of all the options.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema is dead, long live cinema.
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
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 have transmitted genetic material, all I have to do between my daughters' birth and my death is to decorate my life.
