More quotes by Stanley Kubrick
I've never laid a cane on the back of a lord before, but if you force me to I shall speedily become used to the practice.
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
It's impossible to tell you what I'm going to do except to say that I expect to make the best movie ever made.
Stanley Kubrick
God has a hard-on for a Marine because we kill everything we see. He plays His game, we play ours.
Stanley Kubrick
Don't do anything. Just tolerate me and let me suffer, knowing how you feel.
Stanley Kubrick
I, uh, don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir.
Stanley Kubrick
The truth of a thing is in the feel of it, not in the think of it.
Stanley Kubrick
Art consists of reshaping life but it does not create life, nor cause life.
Stanley Kubrick
Here's to five miserable months on the wagon and the irreparable harm that it's caused me.
Stanley Kubrick
One does not have to make Frank Capra movies to like people.
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
The destruction of this planet would have no significance on a cosmic scale.
Stanley Kubrick
If Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda had a baby, it would be Matthew Modine.
Stanley Kubrick
[Making movies] you're not trying to capture reality, you're trying to capture a photograph of reality.
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
All my life I've always spoiled the things that meant the most to me.
Stanley Kubrick
I'm happy - at times - making films. I'm certainly unhappy not making films.
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
The hardest thing in making a movie is to keep in the front of your consciousness your original response to the material. Because that's going to be the thing that will make the movie. And the loss of that will break the movie.
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
