More quotes by 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.

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
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

Stanley Kubrick
A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.
Stanley Kubrick
There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating than seeing someone else die.
Stanley Kubrick
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Stanley Kubrick
I'm happy - at times - making films. I'm certainly unhappy not making films.
Stanley Kubrick
Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
Stanley Kubrick
It's impossible to tell you what I'm going to do except to say that I expect to make the best movie ever made.
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
What do you take me for? A fourteen karat sucker?
Stanley Kubrick
If Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda had a baby, it would be Matthew Modine.
Stanley Kubrick
The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes.
