Steve McQueen
I live for myself and answer to nobody
Steve McQueen
People try to contain things by putting them into categories. I don't.
Steve McQueen
The best thing about making films is the time spent making them. When I see works that I've made, I always think what a great time I had making them. The films remind me of that time.

Steve McQueen
I find it difficult to breathe when l'm in the space. There seems to be no oxygen. I want to put people into a situation where they're sensitive to themselves watching the piece.
Steve McQueen
I don't like to put too much effort into things. I find that once you get involved with special effects it is no longer about what is happening in front of the camera and I really want to concentrate on what is happening in front of the camera, like the man apparently peeing on the surface of the screen.
Steve McQueen
I liked being in the Marines. They gave me discipline I could live with. By the time I got out, I was able to cope with things on a more realistic level.
Steve McQueen
There is no right or wrong angle for something. The idea of putting the camera in an unfamiliar position is simply to do with film language. Sometimes it is spectacular, sometimes it is ugly, sometimes it is uninteresting.
Steve McQueen
The world is as good as you are. You've got to learn to like yourself first.
Steve McQueen
The Navajos have a saying they live by: 'A land where there is time enough and room enough.' I want that, too.
Steve McQueen
I think as an actor, you're more like a dancer, and you have to use your body. I don't understand all these questions about nudity. It's a nonsense. He's an actor, an artist, so get on with it.
Steve McQueen
Often the best way to relax is just to go back to work.
Steve McQueen
