More quotes by 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
What is generally referred to as American-style films are, in fact, studio productions.
Wim Wenders
It's a great lesson in modesty that you realize you're illiterate in a field that you think you're an expert in.
Wim Wenders
I heard that Trump said even smelling a book makes him feel tired.
Wim Wenders
My advice is, don't spend money on therapy. Spend it in a record store.
Wim Wenders
Without dreams, there can be no courage. And without courage, there can be no action.
Wim Wenders
Entertainment today constantly emphasises the message that things are wonderful the way they are. But there is another kind of cinema, which says that change is possible and necessary and it's up to you.
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
The last adventure left on this planet is creativity because we've been everywhere. There's not much left to explore. But there's a lot of exploration left in the human imagination.
Wim Wenders
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.
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
The most political decision you make is where you direct people's eyes. In other words, what you show people, day in and day out, is political...And the most politically indoctrinating thing you can do to a human being is to show him, every day, that there can be no change.
Wim Wenders
For us music is mainly part of the entertainment world and is often a luxury.
Wim Wenders
Sex and violence was never really my cup of tea I was always more into sax and violins.
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
Filmmakers tell actors to adjust their body language, and the famous presence of the actor is his or her body language. That is what makes them special and a movie star. An actor's capital is his body.
Wim Wenders
The world of fashion. I'm interested in the world, not in fashion! But, maybe I was too quick to put down fashion. Why not look at it without prejudice? Why not examine it like any other industry, like the movies for example?
Wim Wenders
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.
Wim Wenders
The culture of independent film criticism has totally gone down the drain and this seems to come with the territory of the consumer age that we are now living in.
Wim Wenders
Before you say cut, wait 5 seconds
