The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Stanley Kubrick
- The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes.
- Writing, of course, is writing, acting comes from the theater, and cinematography comes from photography. Editing is unique to film. You can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously, and it creates a new experience.
- A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
- Here’s to five miserable months on the wagon and the irreparable harm that it’s caused me.
- The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.
- I am afraid of aeroplanes. I’ve been able to avoid flying for some time, but I suppose, if I had to, I would. Perhaps it’s a case of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. At one time, I had a pilot’s licence and 160 hours of solo time on single-engine light aircraft. Unfortunately, all that seemed to do was make me mistrust large aeroplanes.
- When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man.
- Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write ‘War and Peace’ in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right, there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling.
- Among a great many other things that chess teaches you is to control the initial excitement you feel when you see something that looks good. It trains you to think before grabbing and to think just as objectively when you’re in trouble.
- If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.
Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999) was a groundbreaking American film director, screenwriter, and producer, widely regarded as one of cinema’s most influential auteurs. Known for his meticulous craftsmanship, Kubrick’s films span diverse genres, from psychological horror to science fiction.
