More quotes by Roland Joffe
I've never wanted to do something where I'd berate the audience.
Roland Joffe
I think a film should have a gestation period of at least two or three years.
Roland Joffe
The actor is concerned with his own bit of it, but the director's somehow trying to work the whole thing into a much bigger picture. It's like conducting an orchestra.
Roland Joffe
When you look at our world, the truth is that we're all under the influence of politics.
Roland Joffe
I like DVDs so much - it's such a better format than VHS.
Roland Joffe
We're a strange animal, so often destroying what we love for selfish ends, and yet tantalized by the sense that there are other choices if only we had strength to make them. In the politics of 400 years ago, we find the same questions we battle with today.
Roland Joffe
I cannot forget a conversation that I had with an elderly couple from the tribe. They asked me whether I would kill them after I had finished. When I asked them why they asked that, they replied, Because you white men always do!
Roland Joffe
I think the job of movie reviewing can be really tough. If a film has layers that need to be thought about, it's easy to get missed the first time around.
Roland Joffe
I'm not a very serious person. You know how they say that clowns are very funny in public and are really sad at home? I'm really kind of stupid at home and more serious in public.
Roland Joffe
Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family.
Roland Joffe
Even if we don't know it or aren't aware of it, politics and philosophy are really what make our up lives.
Roland Joffe
Good directing is about getting the performance to be just what's right for the movie.
Roland Joffe
Making the City Of Joy gave me the best political education of my life. It became a wrestling match between an Englishman who had gradually ceased to be a Marxist, and a culture that was becoming more Marxist by the day.
Roland Joffe
I began to feel that, in a sense, we were all prisoners of our own history.
Roland Joffe
If you spend a whole afternoon just eating popcorn and watching football, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But if that's all you do, you get swept along with the tide, without any idea of where you're going.
Roland Joffe
I like cinema audiences. I respect them, and I talk to them just like I would anybody I know.
Roland Joffe
If the movie's well made and it's about things that count, people will ultimately see the depth in it.
Roland Joffe
I simply wanted to state that during this little slice of history, this is what happened and these were the good sides of it, these were the more dangerous sides of it, and this was the result.
Roland Joffe
I think that will be a lot of fun for audiences to get the same stream of consciousness that was going through my head at the time. It was very exciting to suddenly recall what I was feeling at the time.
