A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
Be suspicious of people who have, or crave, power. Never, ever go near power. Don't become friends with anyone who has real power. It's dangerous.
