More quotes by Stanley Kubrick
Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is enough.
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
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
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
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, uh, don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir.
Stanley Kubrick
If Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda had a baby, it would be Matthew Modine.

The best education in film is to make one
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
The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive
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
Suppose by chance you do get picked up. What have you done? You shot a horse that isn't first degree murder in fact, it isn't even murder in fact, I don't know what it is.
Stanley Kubrick
Busy people begrudge the days being short. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Stanley Kubrick
You sit at the board and suddenly your heart leaps. Your hand trembles to pick up the piece and move it. But what chess teaches you is that you must sit there calmly and think about whether it's really a good idea and whether there are other, better ideas.
Stanley Kubrick
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
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
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
Bad films gave me the courage to try making a movie
Stanley Kubrick
I've never achieved spectacular success with a film. My reputation has grown slowly. I suppose you could say that I'm a successful filmmaker-in that a number of people speak well of me. But none of my films have received unanimously positive reviews, and none have done blockbuster business.
Stanley Kubrick
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction.
Stanley Kubrick
