Martin Scorsese Quotes

I’m not videotaping my life, but in a way I am trying to put certain things about myself on canvas Picture Quote #1

I look for a thematic idea running through my movies and I see that it’s the outsider struggling for recognition. I realize that all my life I’ve been an outsider, and above all, being lonely but never realizing it Picture Quote #1

I’m not interested in a realistic look, not at all, not ever. Every film should look the way I feel Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there is any difference between fantasy and reality in the way these should be approached in a film. Of course if you live that way you are clinically insane Picture Quote #1

A lot of what I’m obsessed with is the relationship and the dynamics between people and the family, particularly brothers and their father Picture Quote #1

Violence is not the answer, it doesn’t work any more. We are at the end of the worst century in which the greatest atrocities in the history of the world have occurred... The nature of human beings must change. We must cultivate love and compassion Picture Quote #1

The most important thing is, how can I move forward towards something that I can’t articulate, that is new in storytelling with moving images and sound? Picture Quote #1

I was saying as a joke the other day that I love film editing, I know how to cut a picture, I think I know how to shoot it, but I don’t know how to light it. And I realize it’s because I didn’t grow up with light. I grew up in tenements Picture Quote #1

If we just sit and exist, and understand that, I think it will be helpful in a world that seems like a record that’s going faster and faster, we’re spinning off the edge of the universe Picture Quote #1

You gotta understand, when moving images first started, people wanted sound, color, big screen and depth Picture Quote #1

If everything moves along and there are no major catastrophes we’re basically headed towards holograms Picture Quote #1

Death comes in a flash, and that’s the truth of it, the person’s gone in less than 24 frames of film Picture Quote #1

I go through periods, usually when I’m editing and shooting, of seeing only old films Picture Quote #1

There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money, and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you, knowing when to accept their criticism, knowing when to say no Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when you’re heavy into the shooting or editing of a picture, you get to the point where you don’t know if you could ever do it again Picture Quote #1

I think all the great studio filmmakers are dead or no longer working. I don’t put myself, my friends, and other contemporary filmmakers in their category. I just see us doing some work Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Young film makers should learn how to deal with the money and learn how to deal with the power structure. Because it is like a battle Picture Quote #1
