More quotes by Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
The truth of a thing is in the feel of it, not in the think of it.
Stanley Kubrick
I'm happy - at times - making films. I'm certainly unhappy not making films.
Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
All my life I've always spoiled the things that meant the most to me.
Stanley Kubrick
One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony. It is essential that one man make a film.
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
One does not have to make Frank Capra movies to like people.
Stanley Kubrick
The destruction of this planet would have no significance on a cosmic scale.
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
I'm not afraid of dying tomorrow, only of being killed.
Stanley Kubrick
What do you take me for? A fourteen karat sucker?
Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick
Take a stress pill and think things over-- HAL in 2001
Stanley Kubrick
Anybody who runs is a VC. Anybody who stands still is a well-disciplined VC.
Stanley Kubrick
[Making movies] you're not trying to capture reality, you're trying to capture a photograph of reality.
Stanley Kubrick
A film needs more than you can give it in a lifetime.
Stanley Kubrick
It's a mistake to confuse pity with love.
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
Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.
Stanley Kubrick
