More quotes by 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
If Good approved of his creature's creation, He breathed the painted clay-model into life by signing His name.
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
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
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
There are basically only two subject matters in all Western culture: sex and death. We do have some ability to manipulate sex nowadays. We have no ability, and never will have, to manipulate death.
Peter Greenaway
We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality.
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
Life is full of a thousand red herrings, and it takes the history of a civilisation to work out which are the red herrings and which aren't.
Peter Greenaway
The best painting is totally non-narrative. It doesn't have to tell you a story.
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
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
Works of art are never finished, just stopped.
Peter Greenaway
English culture is highly literary-based.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema is dead, long live cinema.
Peter Greenaway
I have transmitted genetic material, all I have to do between my daughters' birth and my death is to decorate my life.
Peter Greenaway
Cinema basically examines a personality first and the body afterward.
Peter Greenaway
Words reproduce themselves pleasurably too.
Peter Greenaway
There's more religion in my little finger than there is in the pope. But no, I don't believe in God. I am an athiest. A Darwinian evolutionist.
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
