Certain subjects may no longer be taboo in cinema. But there are ways to treat them that still create shock.
My plays are always pushing towards cinema anyway. They're down and dirty, real and more fun.
Now more than ever we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this.
I like to stay at home and make cinema in my head.
Cinema really lends itself well to big, archetypal stories, you know, classic old stories and you need kind of a weird, big terrain like the Japanese plains for Samurai movies or the West. You need that for these giants to walk around.
I believe that you must be madly in love with cinema to create films. You also need a huge cinematic baggage.
We cannot put cinema in parallel with the political, because politics are something dirty and cinema is not dirty.

For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.
I like action films, not exclusively, but I like Samurai films. I like Westerns. Not so much war pictures, but a few. I like kinetic cinema.
Magic in cinema is a bit like ventriloquism on the radio.
The most important question in American cinema, I've learned, is 'When is lunch?'
All history is defined by shifting modes of reality and time and how things change. That’s what I love about cinema. It changes in the moment.
Never stop. Never stop fighting. Never stop dreaming. And don’t be afraid of wearing your heart on your sleeve - in declaring the films that you love, the films that you want to make, the life that you’ve had, and the lives you can help reflect in cinema. For myself, for a long time… maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn’t worth hearing, and I think everyone’s voice is worth hearing. So if you’ve got something to say, say it from the rooftops.
Normally I make myself swim, do exercises. For zest I like going to the cinema.
For any movement to emerge, it has to be innovatively independent from the mainstream cinema, and I don't see that much.
What I'm doing in writing has been thoroughly and exhaustively explored in other fields like visual art, music, and cinema, yet somehow it's never really been tested on the page.
We go to the cinema we see images projected on the screen - but they're not real, they're only images.
Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.
In some ways, I think "Pulp Fiction" hurt cinema in a very, very minor, small way. It did a massive amount of good. But it also made it impossible to make a movie even remotely like it without someone comparing it to "Pulp Fiction".
