I'm not afraid of dying tomorrow, only of being killed.
Stanley Kubrick
The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive
Stanley Kubrick
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
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
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
Nothing is as dangerous as a sure thing.
Stanley Kubrick
All my life I've always spoiled the things that meant the most to me.
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
Anybody who runs is a VC. Anybody who stands still is a well-disciplined VC.
Stanley Kubrick
You either connect or you don't connect. It's not the end of the world. It's a movie.
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
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
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
The director's job is to know what emotional statement he wants a character to convey in his scene or his line, and to exercise taste and judgment in helping the actor give his best possible performance.
Stanley Kubrick
Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
Stanley Kubrick
