More quotes by Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem
Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive

However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
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
[Making movies] you're not trying to capture reality, you're trying to capture a photograph of reality.
Stanley Kubrick
Bad films gave me the courage to try making a movie
Stanley Kubrick
I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, Mr. President, but I do say not more than ten to twenty million dead depending upon the breaks.
Stanley Kubrick
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
Stanley Kubrick
Know what it is the emotional statement to convey, and use taste and judgement to help the actors give their best possible performance.
Stanley Kubrick
Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
Stanley Kubrick
I'm not afraid of dying tomorrow, only of being killed.
Stanley Kubrick
Don't do anything. Just tolerate me and let me suffer, knowing how you feel.
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
