More quotes by Peter Greenaway
If you're a Shakespeare fan, isn't that a way to negotiate sex and death?
Peter Greenaway
Cinema basically examines a personality first and the body afterward.
Peter Greenaway
Investigation is never complete.
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
What are you - some kind of addict? Is this where you come to.
Peter Greenaway
Human relationships are patterned and cross-patterned and restricted and limited and delimited and caged and freed again by the elaborate conventions, rules and games which we call civilisation. They're often absurd and farcical, and sometimes they're tragic, yet we acknowledge that they are necessary.
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
Works of art are never finished, just stopped.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema has reached a dead end.
Peter Greenaway
We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality.
Peter Greenaway
I admit that death is not just about you, it's also about the people who love you.
Peter Greenaway
Whispering can be a rest from a noisy world of words.
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
I am certain that there are two things in life which are dependable: the delights of the flesh and the delights of literature. I have had the good fortune to enjoy them both equally.
Peter Greenaway
American actors are coy. We all have pricks and cunts, or are you different from the rest of us?
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
I share this interest in the weird, strange, unusual, surreal.
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
Only cinema narrows its concern down to its content, that is to its story. It should, instead, concern itself with its form, its structure.
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
