More quotes by Shane Carruth
I feel like math and writing are the same thing. You're putting together a lot of complex things to satisfy different requirements. It's got to be aesthetically pleasing it's got to have subtext it's got to convey information.
Shane Carruth
Editing is very satisfying process. You spend hours working on something and then you get to watch it. It's immediately satisfying where everything else is just kind of waiting and waiting and waiting.
Shane Carruth
I never got into 'MacGyver,' but 'All the President's Men' and 'The Conversation' were big for me.
Shane Carruth
I think I'll always want to write and direct. I'm interested in producing and helping other people tell stories. But I'm still in love with writing and directing.
Shane Carruth
I believe that filmmakers have to internalize the story and subtext so well that all of the departments can start to speak to each other - that music can speak to cinematography can speak to writing and back again.
Shane Carruth
When something is beautiful in math, everything is just perfectly lined up, and you see through sheer thought that something really beautiful can take place.
Shane Carruth
Everybody's saying we've got to go 3D or virtual reality or choose your own adventure. But there are other ways forward. I don't think we're done with film by a long shot.
Shane Carruth
I got a degree in math, from not a good school in Texas, and then I went to work as a software engineer. Just not glamorous at all.
Shane Carruth
I came to filmmaking because it's my passion. I decided I can't have it distorted or marred by someone else deciding what it should be.
Shane Carruth
I have a really, really hard time sitting down and watching a TV show, except I'm apparently willing to watch the same episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' like, seven times.
Shane Carruth
I will be making films, and I'm going to keep working, no matter what I have to do. And I don't plan to ever ask for permission from anybody.
Shane Carruth
Film is a collaborative process, absolutely, but I am a control freak.
Shane Carruth
Pierrot le Fou is something I keep coming back to. Its so surreal but still really engaging - it proves narratives within narratives are a landscape that can be pursued well.
Shane Carruth
I don't believe that narrative works when it's trying to teach a lesson or speak a factual truth.
Shane Carruth
All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater.
Shane Carruth
I am obsessed with story. I had a late awakening in life. In college was the first time that I understood what you could do with a story and what a good novel is - literary value and subtext and irony and everything.
Shane Carruth
I don't read books on how to write screenplays just because I'm stubborn. So it's all sort of made up.
Shane Carruth
I had a really generic upbringing, I think, when it comes to viewing movies as a kid. I didn't really know what was out there or what was being tried. I was, like, 'E.T.' and 'Indiana Jones.' Those were the only things I knew existed.
