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.

More quotes by 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
Cinema has reached a dead end.
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
My personal obsessions are much more interesting to me than other people's.
Peter Greenaway
I don't think we've seen any cinema yet. I think we've seen 100 years of illustrated text.
Peter Greenaway
Itch to read, scratch to understand.
Peter Greenaway
I admit that death is not just about you, it's also about the people who love you.
Peter Greenaway
We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality.
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
In practically every film you experience, you can see the director following the text. Illustrating the words first, making the pictures after, and, alas, so often not making pictures at all, but holding up the camera to do its mimetic worst.
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
I like a lot of glasses about - it highers the tone.
Peter Greenaway
American actors are coy. We all have pricks and cunts, or are you different from the rest of us?
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
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
I don't have any particular wish to be polemical or didactic I don't have a 'message', but what I do thoroughly enjoy are those works of art, not necessarily in the cinema, but in the other arts as well, which have an encyclopaedic world.
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
Since Caesar, we know his historians are liars. The good writers get read. Bad history doesn't get read.
Peter Greenaway
Continuity is boring.
Peter Greenaway
What are you - some kind of addict? Is this where you come to.
