More quotes by Stanley Kubrick
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem
Stanley Kubrick
Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
Stanley Kubrick
Don't do anything. Just tolerate me and let me suffer, knowing how you feel.
Stanley Kubrick
Bad films gave me the courage to try making a movie
Stanley Kubrick
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.
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
I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old.
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 you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.
Stanley Kubrick
The truth of a thing is in the feel of it, not in the think of it.
Stanley Kubrick
You're an idealist, and I pity you as I would the village idiot.
Stanley Kubrick
There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating than seeing someone else die.
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
Art consists of reshaping life but it does not create life, nor cause life.
Stanley Kubrick
You're constantly changing man. But the film's not changing. The film stays the same. That's the beautiful aspect of it.
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
You either connect or you don't connect. It's not the end of the world. It's a movie.
Stanley Kubrick
A film needs more than you can give it in a lifetime.
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
Everybody has their black moments.
Stanley Kubrick
