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.

More quotes by Stanley Kubrick
Art consists of reshaping life but it does not create life, nor cause life.
Stanley Kubrick
I'm happy - at times - making films. I'm certainly unhappy not making films.
Stanley Kubrick
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Stanley Kubrick
Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
Stanley Kubrick
The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive
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
Be suspicious of people who have, or crave, power. Never, ever go near power. Don't become friends with anyone who has real power. It's dangerous.
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
The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes.
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
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem
Stanley Kubrick
Suppose by chance you do get picked up. What have you done? You shot a horse that isn't first degree murder in fact, it isn't even murder in fact, I don't know what it is.
Stanley Kubrick
A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper.
Stanley Kubrick
The truth of a thing is in the feel of it, not in the think of it.
Stanley Kubrick
The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed.
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 mistake to confuse pity with love.
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
You're constantly changing man. But the film's not changing. The film stays the same. That's the beautiful aspect of it.
Stanley Kubrick
New York was the only really hostile city. Perhaps there is a certain element of the lumpen literati that is so dogmatically atheist and materialist and Earth-bound that it finds the grandeur of space and the myriad mysteries of cosmic intelligence anathema.
