More quotes by Wim Wenders
Everything is entertainment criticism is now entertainment and it seems that the French directors have woken up one day and suddenly realised that they were not backed up any more.
Wim Wenders
The reason I never wrote a novel is that I don't have what it takes to write characters, so they would all be talking differently. I lack that ability. If I were writing, they would all talk like me, and that's no good.
Wim Wenders
It's very hard to find critics or a magazine today that will publish material that is genuinely independent and written without any concern about being cut off some distributor's list or not be invited or flown into screenings.
Wim Wenders
Butte was once a grand city. To me, that city is like one big stage for Edward Hopper. You could put your camera anywhere, and you felt you were looking at his paintings.
Wim Wenders
I remember that even my first impression of Italian cinema was pictures by paparazzi because my mom was reading all of these trash magazines with paparazzo pictures.
Wim Wenders
It's almost scary how stylish things can look if you take the color out - how much more you see the essence of things and how much more something can appear elegant.
Wim Wenders
The most important question for me when I begin working on a film is where to start. For a book, what makes you convinced there is a story that is worthwhile?
Wim Wenders
Take opera for example - to go to the opera you have to dress up in a tuxedo and pay lots of money.
Wim Wenders
There are a lot of things that dancers can do that actors cannot and actors can do that dancers cannot.
Wim Wenders
I sometimes feel fiction is the ideal preservation for real memories. Fiction is such a good place to keep things.
Wim Wenders
I can't do a million things anymore like I could when I was younger.
Wim Wenders
Don't worry about getting final cut, worry about making the best possible cut.
Wim Wenders
For years all I seemed to be doing was lobbying politicians and others to persuade them that European culture needed movies, and that we had to protect it.
Wim Wenders
Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.
Wim Wenders
Pina Bausch's motto was Dance, otherwise we are lost. She really meant it, that dance was her answer to life and to the troubles and to the problems that can arise. That was her way to deal with everything, to dance.
Wim Wenders
Maybe it's the music that enables them to function like that, to always take everything as it comes and never complain about the misery, hardship or injustice.
Wim Wenders
I think sometimes you have to just imagine something that looks pretty impossible. By imagining something that is impossible, automatically you wish you could make it possible.
Wim Wenders
The more opinions you have, the less you see.
Wim Wenders
Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
Wim Wenders
Film is a very, very powerful medium. It can either confirm the idea that things are wonderful the way they are, or it can reinforce the conception that things can be changed.
Wim Wenders
