More quotes by Stanley Kubrick
However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
Stanley Kubrick
One does not have to make Frank Capra movies to like people.
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
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
I haven't had one sexual thought since the court martial.
Stanley Kubrick
Know what it is the emotional statement to convey, and use taste and judgement to help the actors give their best possible performance.
Stanley Kubrick
I'm happy - at times - making films. I'm certainly unhappy not making films.
Stanley Kubrick
A film needs more than you can give it in a lifetime.
Stanley Kubrick
Don't do anything. Just tolerate me and let me suffer, knowing how you feel.
Stanley Kubrick
Art consists of reshaping life but it does not create life, nor cause life.
Stanley Kubrick
Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
Stanley Kubrick
In his essay on the uncanny, Das Unheimliche, Freud said that the uncanny is the only feeling which is more powerfully experienced in art than in life. If the horror genre required any justification, I should think this alone would serve as its credentials.
Stanley Kubrick
Nothing is as dangerous as a sure thing.
Stanley Kubrick
You either connect or you don't connect. It's not the end of the world. It's a movie.
Stanley Kubrick
A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.
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
There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating than seeing someone else die.
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 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
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
