The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Terrence Malick
- There’s a good many pictures I’d like to make; we’ll see how many I’ll be allowed to make.
- I’d always liked movies in a kind of naive way. They seemed no less improbable a career than anything else.
- It was in Austin that I had the idea for ‘Days of Heaven.’ I found myself alone for a summer in the town I had left as a high school student. There were those green, undulating hills, and this very beautiful river, the Colorado. The place is inspired and inspiring.
- When people express what is most important to them, it often comes out in cliches. That doesn’t make them laughable; it’s something tender about them. As though in struggling to reach what’s most personal about them they could only come up with what’s most public.
- I film quite a bit of footage, then edit. Changes before your eyes, things you can do and things you can’t. My attitude is always ‘let it keep rolling.’
- I have trouble working off things that are too preconceived, like storyboards.
- Perhaps when I have 10 films behind me, I will have something worth saying.
- I came to Los Angeles in the fall of 1969 to study at the AFI.
- If you try to make things happen, they start to feel presented. They start to feel premeditated.
- I was not a good teacher; I didn’t have the sort of edge one should have on the students, so I decided to do something else.
