I haven't had one sexual thought since the court martial.
Stanley Kubrick
Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.
Stanley Kubrick
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.
Stanley Kubrick
How does anybody ever think of anything?
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

Stanley Kubrick
However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
Stanley Kubrick
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
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.
Stanley Kubrick
I used and abused drugs and alcohol. When I stopped doing that it became a lot clearer that life goes from inside to giving as opposed to taking and destroying.
Stanley Kubrick
I've never achieved spectacular success with a film. My reputation has grown slowly. I suppose you could say that I'm a successful filmmaker-in that a number of people speak well of me. But none of my films have received unanimously positive reviews, and none have done blockbuster business.
Stanley Kubrick
You either connect or you don't connect. It's not the end of the world. It's a movie.
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
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
The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning.
Stanley Kubrick
I’ve never been certain whether the moral of the Icarus story should only be, as is generally accepted, ‘don’t try to fly too high,’ or whether it might also be thought of as ‘forget the wax and feathers, and do a better job on the wings.
Stanley Kubrick
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Stanley Kubrick
Here's to five miserable months on the wagon and the irreparable harm that it's caused me.
