More quotes by Terry Gilliam
I've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.
Terry Gilliam
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
I'm trying to escape by forming my own kind of world. Basically, I'm trying to encourage others to do the same.
Terry Gilliam
I do want to say things in these films. I want audiences to come out with shards stuck in them. I don't care if people love my films or walk out, as long as they have a strong response.
Terry Gilliam
I hate losing laughs they're rare things.
Terry Gilliam
Because I dislike being quoted I lie almost constantly when talking about my work.
Terry Gilliam
Writers do the self-censoring before they even get to the studio executive, because they know the film will not run that gauntlet. They, because they want to get their films made, they censor it.
Terry Gilliam
I can feel my dreams but I can't remember them.
Terry Gilliam
Hyperbole is something Id better avoid.
Terry Gilliam
I wasn't creative or theatrical. I was just doing everything. I was head cheerleader, valedictorian - it was ridiculous!
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
My strength, if it's anything, is that I can lure some big-name actors in. That's probably the strength of almost any director now. On your own, as a director, you've only got so much weight. James Cameron, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Michael Bay... that's about it. Everybody else depends on the star power that they can draw.
Terry Gilliam
I got my head bashed in at a demonstration against the Vietnam War. Police were losing control because they were up against a world they really didn't understand.
Terry Gilliam
John Cleese was with a group called Cambridge Circus, who had come to New York, and we became friends. Years later that produced a certain team effort.
Terry Gilliam
I got tired of my taxes paying for exciting little wars around the world. Then I discovered that when I died, my wife would probably have to sell our house to pay for the taxes in America.
Terry Gilliam
I never define depression, clinical or otherwise. It's the basis of most life, it seems to me, in the modern world. We're all depressed.
Terry Gilliam
I was born in 1940 in Minnesota and grew up in the country... dirt roads, swamps, lakes, woods.
Terry Gilliam
My problem is I'm like a junkie. I want a good movie fix, and I never get that fix.
Terry Gilliam
In advertising, I was frustrated by having to deal with the client. It was the only time I really worked in a proper office, and I didn't like it-simple as that.
Terry Gilliam
I was getting frustrated with America. It's interesting how as simple a thing as, like, letting your hair grow longer changed in the world in those days.
