Stanley Kubrick
The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed.
Stanley Kubrick
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction.
Stanley Kubrick
Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is enough.
Stanley Kubrick
One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony. It is essential that one man make a film.
Stanley Kubrick
Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.
Stanley Kubrick
A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.
Stanley Kubrick
The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive
