More quotes by Peter Greenaway
American actors are coy. We all have pricks and cunts, or are you different from the rest of us?
Peter Greenaway
I have often thought it was very arrogant to suppose you could make a film for anybody but yourself.
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
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.
Peter Greenaway
Since Caesar, we know his historians are liars. The good writers get read. Bad history doesn't get read.
Peter Greenaway
I like a lot of glasses about - it highers the tone.
Peter Greenaway

Peter Greenaway
Investigation is never complete.
Peter Greenaway
Jean Renoir once suggested that most true creators have only one idea and spend their lives reworking it, but then very rapidly he added that most people don't have any ideas at all, so one idea is pretty amazing.
Peter Greenaway
We live in a time of excess - excess population, excess information.
Peter Greenaway
For so many filmmakers, cinema is a means to an end.
Peter Greenaway
What are you - some kind of addict? Is this where you come to.
Peter Greenaway
My heroes among filmmakers would be people like Buñuel and Pasolini, who were of very high cinematic intelligence, but tread on a lot of toes.
Peter Greenaway
A French critic referred to me as a gay pessimist, with gay used in its older sense, and talked of Cocteau in the same breath.
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
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
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.
