More quotes by Stanley Kubrick
I’ve never been certain whether the moral of the Icarus story should only be, as is generally accepted, ‘don’t try to fly too high,’ or whether it might also be thought of as ‘forget the wax and feathers, and do a better job on the wings.
Stanley Kubrick
How does anybody ever think of anything?
Stanley Kubrick
A film needs more than you can give it in a lifetime.
Stanley Kubrick
I'm not afraid of dying tomorrow, only of being killed.
Stanley Kubrick
You're free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film—and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level—but I don't want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he's missed the point.
Stanley Kubrick
The lasting and ultimately most important reputation of a film is not based on reviews, but on what, if anything, people say about it over the years, and on how much affection for it they have.
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
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction.
Stanley Kubrick
The hardest thing in making a movie is to keep in the front of your consciousness your original response to the material. Because that's going to be the thing that will make the movie. And the loss of that will break the movie.
Stanley Kubrick
I'm happy - at times - making films. I'm certainly unhappy not making films.
Stanley Kubrick
One does not have to make Frank Capra movies to like people.
Stanley Kubrick
Everything has already been done. every story has been told every scene has been shot. it’s our job to do it one better.
Stanley Kubrick
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.
Stanley Kubrick
I've never laid a cane on the back of a lord before, but if you force me to I shall speedily become used to the practice.
Stanley Kubrick
It's a mistake to confuse pity with love.
Stanley Kubrick
All my life I've always spoiled the things that meant the most to me.
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
The destruction of this planet would have no significance on a cosmic scale.
Stanley Kubrick
I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, Mr. President, but I do say not more than ten to twenty million dead depending upon the breaks.
Stanley Kubrick
Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is enough.
