More quotes by William Friedkin
I have to see the whole scene in my head before I go out and do it. Which I do. I will envision the entire scene before I shoot it.
William Friedkin
I believe today that there is no film and no shot in a film that is worth a squirrel getting a sprained ankle.
William Friedkin
I really think that sex always looks kind of funny in a movie.
William Friedkin
I don't look back or analyze my films. I just make them. It's for someone else to look at.
William Friedkin
The studios mostly threw away the negatives of the classic films. They had no interest in their legacy.
William Friedkin
I'm not a fan of Star Wars. That is not for me. That is for my nephews and nieces. I don't get it.
William Friedkin
I had absolutely no focus as a kid. I never paid attention at school, I never went to college. Not because we were too poor we were. But if I wanted to go to college, I would have found a way.
William Friedkin
I believe it's true that there's good and evil in everyone and it's a constant struggle to have your better angels prevail.
William Friedkin
Violence is not funny.
William Friedkin
Ive never seen a more terrifying film than 'The Bababook'. It will scare the hell out of you as it did me.
William Friedkin
Technique is of less interest than character and story.
William Friedkin
And it was only a week later that I realized a close up of Steve McQueen was worth the greatest landscape you could find.
William Friedkin
I can't sit through the superhero films. But I watched Draft Day, and it was kind of sweet in an old-fashioned way.
William Friedkin
I don't believe that Citizen Kane or Gone With the Wind, or any damn picture that you can name, would be better off in 3D. I think it's a gimmick. I find 3D distracting.
William Friedkin
With The Exorcist we said what we wanted to say. Neither one of us view it as a horror film. We view it as a film about the mysteries of faith. It's easier for people to call it a horror film. Or a great horror film. Or the greatest horror film ever made. Whenever I see that, I feel a great distance from it.
William Friedkin
The Blu-ray is the real cinematech of world cinema. That's how it's being preserved. All of these guys that are trying to preserve 35mm negatives? They are wasting their time. There are better ways to see and project this stuff. It's called digital.
William Friedkin
I have control over every single frame on Blu-ray. If I want a scene bluer, I get that scene bluer. Originally, there was some fluctuation with the prints. If you made a thousand, or a few thousand prints, there is no control over any of that. But now I can make a master using the digital process.
William Friedkin
I have seen lampoons of my work. And I have really enjoyed them. But I would never do another version of The Exorcist.
William Friedkin
There are films that I've made that I like a little bit more than the others. But the films that I mostly watch, and see over and over again, are not my own.
William Friedkin
I don't like 3D. I don't believe there is any film that I have seen and loved that would have been improved by a scintilla in 3D. To me, it's just a gimmick.
