More quotes by Peter Greenaway
I think it is really important to be in some way provocative -- either intellectually or viscerally -- in the films one makes.
Peter Greenaway
English culture is highly literary-based.
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
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.
Peter Greenaway
I am Welsh by birth, English by education, and European by nature.
Peter Greenaway
I think that films or indeed any art work should be made in a way that they are infinitely viewable so that you could go back to it time and time again, not necessarily immediately but over a space of time, and see new things in it, or new ways of looking at it.
Peter Greenaway
I share this interest in the weird, strange, unusual, surreal.
Peter Greenaway
We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality.
Peter Greenaway
I never go to the cinema. I can't stand sitting in the dark with strangers -- all of us obliged to share the same emotional experiences -- it's too intimate. I like to be emotional in private.
Peter Greenaway
I have often thought it was very arrogant to suppose you could make a film for anybody but yourself.
Peter Greenaway
It serves the purpose of not serving a purpose, surely quite a valid one.
Peter Greenaway
American actors are coy. We all have pricks and cunts, or are you different from the rest of us?
Peter Greenaway
A hand cannot write on itself.
Peter Greenaway
Anybody who writes a diary insists it must be read by someone else.
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
Works of art are never finished, just stopped.
Peter Greenaway
Words reproduce themselves pleasurably too.
Peter Greenaway
Since Caesar, we know his historians are liars. The good writers get read. Bad history doesn't get read.
Peter Greenaway
This is where I begin to do the writing. I am now going to be the pen and not the paper.
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
