I don't like doing interviews. There is always the problem of being misquoted or, what's even worse, of being quoted exactly. - Stanley Kubrick

There's something in the human personality which resents things that are clear, and conversely, something which is attracted to puzzles, enigmas, and allegories.

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.

The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed.
