Sam Mendes Quotes

As a first-time director in America, I feel I’ve been very fortunate Picture Quote #1

I don’t think good and evil are polarized Picture Quote #1

Now I’m back home, living in London, running my theater. I just want to enjoy all that Picture Quote #1

I still can’t quite believe it. Although there was something about the fact that it was a first - time writer, a first - time producer, and a first - time director all at the same time Picture Quote #1

The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame, but I’d love to make a black-and-white movie one day Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons I loved working with Tom is people feel they know who he is. I think working with an actor who the audience already has a relationship with actually helps you in a film like this Picture Quote #1

Having you in my life made everything better

Kevin and Annette... I wanted them to do it together. They clearly wanted to work with each other Picture Quote #1

What a beautiful world it would be if people had hearts like dogs

This is the first time in 10 years I don’t know what I’m doing next, and I’m rather enjoying it. Soon I’ll be climbing the walls no doubt, but right now, it’s not clear, I’m just enjoying the freedom Picture Quote #1

It took me a long time to film the plastic bag, and then I had to get the cut of the scene right. But if you find it as beautiful as the character does, then suddenly it becomes a different movie, and so did he as a character Picture Quote #1

It’s a risk casting anyone against type or what they’re known to do. But there’s one thing better than having a great actor, which is having a great actor who’s never done what you’re asking him to do. He’s hungry to get out of the trailer every day and hungry to test himself Picture Quote #1

There’s good and bad in everybody. I wasn’t looking for the good, or looking for the bad. This is a man who signed his pact with the devil 20 years ago, and he’s learned to live with it. He’s tried to protect his family from it Picture Quote #1

Listen, you make a big movie, you’re going into the Coliseum, and people are going to give you the thumbs up or the thumbs down. And that’s part of the game. It’s part of the fun as well Picture Quote #1

Politicizing of kids starts with pregnancy, of course. You shouldn’t be drinking wine. You can’t be smoking, either. The poor woman is poked and prodded and touched and obsessed over Picture Quote #1

You don't need someone to complete you. You only need someone to accept you completely

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why

For me, certain shots or scenes are keys in the movie Picture Quote #1
