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.

More quotes by Peter Greenaway
I admit that death is not just about you, it's also about the people who love you.
Peter Greenaway
What are you - some kind of addict? Is this where you come to.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema is dead, long live cinema.
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
You should be allowed to rub out and start again, it means that you are human. The purists are tedious, they tell you a mistake is like an enduring black mark. Nonsense -- better to be human than some infernal machine never going wrong.
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
We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality.
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
For so many filmmakers, cinema is a means to an end.
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
Itch to read, scratch to understand.
Peter Greenaway
We all know that we're going to die, but we don't know when. That's not a blessing, that's a curse.
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 have transmitted genetic material, all I have to do between my daughters' birth and my death is to decorate my life.
Peter Greenaway
The Sistine Chapel is an extraordinary work of education - it lays out all the early books of the Bible.
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
Continuity is boring.
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.
