Are you one of those romantics thinking movies are magical? They stuck us, sometimes make us fall in love and even change our perspectives. What kind of people are these directors giving us all these feels? Of course, it's not possible to know them from a few sentences but we gathered some of their most inspirational quotations to give you an insight.
Steve McQueen (1969 - )
"Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live."
Spike Lee (1957 - )
"I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect."
Darren Aronofsky (1969 - )
"I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you’re following your passion."
David Lynch (1946 - )
“It’s better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you’ll be too afraid to let things keep happening.”
Jim Jarmusch (1953 - )
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.”
