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
Image
All my life I've always spoiled the things that meant the most to me.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
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
Image

Take a stress pill and think things over-- HAL in 2001
Stanley Kubrick

You're an idealist, and I pity you as I would the village idiot.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
The destruction of this planet would have no significance on a cosmic scale.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
Don't do anything. Just tolerate me and let me suffer, knowing how you feel.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
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.

One does not have to make Frank Capra movies to like people.

How does anybody ever think of anything?
