Over time I've written down quotes from directors that I've come across in a interview or book. These quotes inspire and help to keep me focused on my journey as a director/writer and some I just find to be just plain truthful:
'...there's nowhere to hide as a director you are completely exposed when you write and direct a film. It directly reflects you and you have to be willing to accept what that is when it's finished.'
-Ryan Gosling
'When I put on my directors uniform, so to speak, I'm out of danger. Once I arrive on the set with a galloping fever, but as soon as I looked through the lens it went away. When you're filming you feel like yourself again, a director, without age, outside of time, without infirmities, invulnerable.'
-Federico Fellini
'To make a film is to improve life.'
-Francois Truffaut
'Directors don't make pictures, directors make things that your suppose to get an emotional hit off of.
Your suppose to feel something, its behavior, color...'
-David Fincher
'In the end it became obvious. You (as director) don't make a performance. A director allows a performance. This is very much the case.'
-David Fincher
...more to come
