The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Duncan Jones

  • It’s always nerve-racking, showing your parents things you’ve been working on.
  • I don’t want to build on someone else’s legacy. I wanted to establish my own thing.
  • ‘Warcraft’ is going to be a period of my life I treasure and loathe at the same time.
  • I love my work, but I don’t like being in the spotlight. I was never going to be an actor, that’s for sure.
  • I’ve certainly never used my father’s name as a way of getting a meeting. And fortunately, I’ve never needed to.
  • I don’t know if subconsciously there was some reaction going on, if there was something in me that didn’t want to learn an instrument – because I couldn’t have been that incompetent!
  • Motion capture has become very specialized but also still just a tool of filmmaking.
  • I don’t know why, but for whatever reason, that side of life – the celebrity and the spectacle – has never interested me.
  • My stepmom’s from Somalia, my baby sister is African American, my dad was always English, I’m a white man… You may have noticed.
  • It felt very fresh to me, and it feels very contemporary – this idea that conflict’s not being about good and evil and not necessarily being black and white. If you dig deep enough, you’ll often find that people do things because they feel that they have to as opposed to because they are evil.

Duncan Jones, born on May 30, 1971, is a British filmmaker known for his distinctive approach to science fiction. The son of legendary musician David Bowie and model Angela Barnett, Jones initially pursued a career in philosophy, earning a bachelor’s degree from the College of Wooster and a master’s degree from Vanderbilt University.

However, his passion for film led him to the London Film School, where he honed his directorial skills. Jones gained critical acclaim with his debut feature, “Moon” (2009), a thought-provoking sci-fi drama starring Sam Rockwell, which won a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer.

He followed this success with the mind-bending thriller “Source Code” (2011) and ventured into the world of high fantasy with “Warcraft” (2016). Jones continues to be a notable figure in contemporary cinema, blending complex narratives with a visually compelling style.
