More quotes by 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 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.
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 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
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
Hyperbole is something Id better avoid.
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
The English are such a frightened, nervous, insecure group of people - they no longer rule the world!
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
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
My problem is I'm like a junkie. I want a good movie fix, and I never get that fix.
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
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
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
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
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've always sworn that not having enough money has saved me from mediocrity.
Terry Gilliam
I can feel my dreams but I can't remember them.
