Take a stress pill and think things over-- HAL in 2001
Stanley Kubrick
The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes.

Stanley Kubrick
Art consists of reshaping life but it does not create life, nor cause life.

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
Everybody has their black moments.
Stanley Kubrick
What do you take me for? A fourteen karat sucker?
Stanley Kubrick
Everything has already been done. every story has been told every scene has been shot. it’s our job to do it one better.
Stanley Kubrick
Shooting a movie is the worst milieu for creative work ever devised by man.
Stanley Kubrick
You know, I often thought that the gangster and the artist are the same in the eyes of the masses. They're admired and hero-worshipped but there is always present underlying desire to see them destroyed at the peak of their glory.
Stanley Kubrick
The truth of a thing is in the feel of it, not in the think of it.
