The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Brian De Palma
- So I like to try to go back and develop pure visual storytelling. Because to me, it’s one of the most exciting aspects of making movies and almost a lost art at this point.
- I’ve dropped myself into straightforward character pieces in order to explore that form and reap its values. But you are sort of restricted visually when your first requirement is to tell a fairly straightforward story.
- I don’t see scarey films. I certainly wouldn’t go see my films.
- And I always had this idea for making a movie about a femme fatale, because I like these characters. They’re a lot of fun, they’re sexy, they’re manipulative, they’re dangerous.
- Godard is incredibly brilliant, the things he says. Apparently here in France, the most interesting thing when a new film of his is going to come out are his press conferences, because he’s so brilliant.
- I do like directing other people’s material.
- I guess what’s most surprised me in most of the reviews is that they don’t seem to get the noir story in the dream sequence, so they analyze it like a straight noir movie.
- You really are as hot as your last movie. And it goes away really quickly.
- The biggest mistake in student films is that they are usually cast so badly, with friends and people the directors know. Actually you can cover a lot of bad direction with good acting.
- Well, I just think through your career you go through different phases, and I just got sort of uninspired by the whole studio process of making and releasing films.
