Stanley Kubrick
There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating than seeing someone else die.
Stanley Kubrick
Private Joker is silly and he's ignorant but he's got guts and guts is enough.
Stanley Kubrick
Everybody has their black moments.
Stanley Kubrick
A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.
