A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

More quotes by Stanley Kubrick
One does not have to make Frank Capra movies to like people.
Stanley Kubrick
New York was the only really hostile city. Perhaps there is a certain element of the lumpen literati that is so dogmatically atheist and materialist and Earth-bound that it finds the grandeur of space and the myriad mysteries of cosmic intelligence anathema.
Stanley Kubrick
Any time you take a chance you better be sure the rewards are worth the risk because they can put you away just as fast for a ten dollar heist as they can for a million dollar job.
Stanley Kubrick
There's something in the human personality which resents things that are clear, and conversely, something which is attracted to puzzles, enigmas, and allegories.
Stanley Kubrick
Be suspicious of people who have, or crave, power. Never, ever go near power. Don't become friends with anyone who has real power. It's dangerous.
Stanley Kubrick
It's crazy how you can get yourself in a mess sometimes and not even be able to think about it with any sense and yet not be able to think about anything else.
Stanley Kubrick
Nothing is as dangerous as a sure thing.
Stanley Kubrick
Art consists of reshaping life but it does not create life, nor cause life.
Stanley Kubrick
God has a hard-on for a Marine because we kill everything we see. He plays His game, we play ours.
Stanley Kubrick
I used and abused drugs and alcohol. When I stopped doing that it became a lot clearer that life goes from inside to giving as opposed to taking and destroying.
Stanley Kubrick
The world's religions, for all their parochialism, did supply a kind of consolation for this great ache. This shattering recognition of our mortality is at the root of far more mental illness than I suspect even psychiatrists are aware.
Stanley Kubrick
A film needs more than you can give it in a lifetime.
Stanley Kubrick
It's a mistake to confuse pity with love.
Stanley Kubrick
Everybody has their black moments.
Stanley Kubrick
Shooting a movie is the worst milieu for creative work ever devised by man.
Stanley Kubrick
The whole idea of god is absurd. If anything, '2001' shows that what some people call 'god' is simply an acceptable term for their ignorance. What they don't understand, they call 'god' -Stanley Kubrick, interview, 1963
Stanley Kubrick
The truth of a thing is in the feel of it, not in the think of it.
Stanley Kubrick
I haven't had one sexual thought since the court martial.
Stanley Kubrick
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.
Stanley Kubrick
One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony. It is essential that one man make a film.
Stanley Kubrick
