Stanley Kubrick
You're an idealist, and I pity you as I would the village idiot.

Stanley Kubrick
One does not have to make Frank Capra movies to like people.
Stanley Kubrick
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.
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
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.
Stanley Kubrick
Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities?
Stanley Kubrick
Take a stress pill and think things over-- HAL in 2001
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.
