Terry Gilliam
I have always got medicine I want to give to people.
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 hate losing laughs they're rare things.
Terry Gilliam

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
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
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
I think it's worse for actors, though, because people have to choose you. As a director, I get to choose the actors, but most of the time, actors have to be chosen in order to work.
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
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 like being a patron of things, I like patronizing things. And if it's not going to be people, I'll patronize a festival.
