More quotes by 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
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
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
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 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
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've given up asking questions. l merely float on a tsunami of acceptance of anything life throws at me ... and marvel stupidly.
Terry Gilliam
The whole point of animation to me is to tell a story, make a joke, express an idea. The technique itself doesn't really matter. Whatever works is the thing to use.
Terry Gilliam
I have always got medicine I want to give to people.
Terry Gilliam
Literally overnight, I became an animator... and one that was well-known.
Terry Gilliam
The forces that run the world always try to keep things under control. The population might be having a wonderful time, buying iPods and going to nice restaurants, but I still feel they're all kind of under control.
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.
