More quotes by 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
Critical opinion on my films has always been salvaged by what I would call subsequent critical opinion.
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
It's a passion when you're doing it for other people and you're doing it for the people around you making the film and the people who are going to see the film, and the giving. When you start thinking about you doing it for some sort of self-gain, then I think it becomes an obsession. It becomes a negative experience.
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
I'm not afraid of dying tomorrow, only of being killed.
Stanley Kubrick
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem
Stanley Kubrick
It's crazy how you can get yourself in a mess sometimes and not even be able to think about it with any sense and yet not be able to think about anything else.
Stanley Kubrick
One does not have to make Frank Capra movies to like people.
Stanley Kubrick
Here's to five miserable months on the wagon and the irreparable harm that it's caused me.
Stanley Kubrick
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
You either connect or you don't connect. It's not the end of the world. It's a movie.
Stanley Kubrick
