It's hard for me to worry about the studios losing money. I'm not very sympathetic to their money problems, because they certainly haven't been sympathetic to mine.

Terry Gilliam
All films are learning processes. I am still trying to work out how you make a movie. I didn't study at film school or any of those things. I didn't bother with film theory.
Terry Gilliam
If you really want your films to say something that you hope is unique, then patience and stamina, thick skin and a kind of stupidity, a mule-like stupidity, is what you really need.
Terry Gilliam
My problem is I'm like a junkie. I want a good movie fix, and I never get that fix.
Terry Gilliam
I've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.
Terry Gilliam
Literally overnight, I became an animator... and one that was well-known.
Terry Gilliam
You get trapped by stories. Though I've got this reputation for being out of control, it's not true, it just happens to be a more interesting story than the truth.
Terry Gilliam
There was a perverse side of me, with things like Van Helsing coming out. I didn't want to go down that route.
