So I am getting a little bored with defining one type of film as American and the other European or from somewhere else because the division is no longer true.

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.

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.

In this age of consumerism film criticism all over the world - in America first but also in Europe - has become something that caters for the movie industry instead of being a counterbalance.

The beautiful image today means nothing. It's worthshit. In fact, it's almost as if it has the opposite effect, becauseyou're just like everything else out there.

Many French directors, having now realised there was no more real criticism, that the standards of the past have gone, are very offended about the quality of film criticism.

I think seeing happens partly through the eyes, but not entirely.

On the contrary a film can promote the idea of change without any political message whatsoever but in its form and language can tell people that they can change their lives and contribute to progressive changes in the world.

Whoever came up first with that saying a picture is worth a thousand words didn't understand the first thing about either one.

To evoke the classic period of Italian cinema in a little film seemed like a great, fun thing to do. I had relations to that period. I had known Fellini and I had known Antonioni. I had made a movie with Antonioni and I had visited Fellini in his studios. So, it seemed like something worthwhile doing. You bring yourself to that mythical cinema.

In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years.

My advice is, don't spend money on therapy. Spend it in a record store.

Filmmakers and critics wrote about each other and sometimes very harshly. This no longer exists.
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.
