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.

More quotes by Terry Gilliam
Hyperbole is something Id better avoid.
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
I've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.
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
The English are such a frightened, nervous, insecure group of people - they no longer rule the world!
Terry Gilliam
I wasn't creative or theatrical. I was just doing everything. I was head cheerleader, valedictorian - it was ridiculous!
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

Terry Gilliam
I was born in 1940 in Minnesota and grew up in the country... dirt roads, swamps, lakes, woods.
Terry Gilliam

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
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
Fantasy isn't just a jolly escape: It's an escape, but into something far more extreme than reality, or normality. It's where things are more beautiful and more wondrous and more terrifying. You move into a world of conflicting extremes.
Terry Gilliam
I have always got medicine I want to give to people.
Terry Gilliam
I can feel my dreams but I can't remember them.
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
There was a perverse side of me, with things like Van Helsing coming out. I didn't want to go down that route.
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 don't think you ever learn just one thing. At some point you start unlearning things. I have been working hard to unlearn everything I know.
Terry Gilliam
