More quotes by Peter Greenaway
Cinema is dead, long live cinema.
Peter Greenaway
My personal obsessions are much more interesting to me than other people's.
Peter Greenaway
All the material is fictional and develops its own eight and a half private, coelesced journeys, where, perhaps not unexpectedly, the females can run faster than the men and trade their freedoms by exhausting the male sexual fantasies and replacing them by some of their own.
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
Continuity is boring.
Peter Greenaway
It serves the purpose of not serving a purpose, surely quite a valid one.
Peter Greenaway
What are you - some kind of addict? Is this where you come to.
Peter Greenaway
Words reproduce themselves pleasurably too.
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

Peter Greenaway

Peter Greenaway

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
Itch to read, scratch to understand.
Peter Greenaway
I got in trouble with the stern-faced Russians who didn't want me to create a guy who is mortal.
Peter Greenaway
I like a lot of glasses about - it highers the tone.
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
The start of a film is like a gateway, a formal entrance-point. The first three minutes of a film make great demands on an audience's patience and credulity. A great deal has to be learnt very rapidly about place and attitude, character and intent and ambition.
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
