The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Luc Besson
- It’s always the small people who change things. It’s never the politicians or the big guys. I mean, who pulled down the Berlin wall? It was all the people in the streets. The specialists didn’t have a clue the day before.
- Cinema never saved anyone’s life, it is not a medicine that will save anyone’s life. It is only an aspirin.
- Live your life, experience something, and then you’re going to have a lot of things to say. But if you hang around in Hollywood, then you’re going to say the same thing as everyone else – nothing.
- You know, money will never save anyone. Compassion can save someone, love can save someone, money will never save anyone. And as long as the entire society will put money first… Money should be like third or fourth or fifth, I’m not saying lets get rid of money, but how can we put money as number one? As the only value, like if you are rich, you’re famous you go VIP, why? It’s just insane, the way we’ve transformed the society.
- What a director is looking for is someone who will follow you and no matter what. And if you ask for blue, he’s gonna try blue. And if you say, give me a piece of red with it, and they try. And you don’t mind so much if it’s difficult to get the blue and the red together. As long as they try. And as long as they give everything they can to give you what you want. That’s what I’m looking for.
- I think we have the wrong notion of commercial and intellectual or artistic film. Because all films are commercial.
- I think it’s the society that drains us out, and we are in a society where we are driven by money.
- I won’t be able to do a film just for bad reasons, for money or for – I just can’t. If I have one more where I feel I can bring you something, I will do it.
- You know sometimes you’re in a position of risk and you feel that you can turn good or bad.
- Sometimes I see people finish a film and they go, “Yeah, that was good. Where are we going to eat?”
