More quotes by Terry Gilliam
I've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.
Terry Gilliam
The success of the Hollywood marketing machine is to limit what we see. Not just to limit what we can see, but also to limit our expectations - to limit what we want to see.
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
Actually, I began to think that maybe there is a god, after all. Or maybe its a different one. The old one got fired.
Terry Gilliam
I hate losing laughs they're rare things.
Terry Gilliam
Every few years when it's been another five years that have passed and I haven't made a film and the depression starts taking over totally, I allow myself to do a commercial. And then I feel really dirty and get to work promptly.
Terry Gilliam
I've given up asking questions. l merely float on a tsunami of acceptance of anything life throws at me ... and marvel stupidly.
Terry Gilliam
Because I dislike being quoted I lie almost constantly when talking about my work.
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
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
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
I have always got medicine I want to give to people.
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.
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
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'm trying to escape by forming my own kind of world. Basically, I'm trying to encourage others to do the same.
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
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 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
Literally overnight, I became an animator... and one that was well-known.
Terry Gilliam
