More quotes by Terry Gilliam
I can feel my dreams but I can't remember them.
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
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
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
I have always got medicine I want to give to people.
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 hate losing laughs they're rare things.
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
I was born in 1940 in Minnesota and grew up in the country... dirt roads, swamps, lakes, woods.
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
The Brothers Grimm came along and I was so desperate for work... Actually I've got to say that I like the movie, I won't apologize for 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 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
Because I dislike being quoted I lie almost constantly when talking about my work.
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 like being a patron of things, I like patronizing things. And if it's not going to be people, I'll patronize a festival.
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 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 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've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.
Terry Gilliam
