Sam Mendes Quotes

You’ve got to work. You’ve got to want an audience to sit forward in their chairs sometimes, rather than sit back and be bombarded with images Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to believe as a filmmaker that if a movie’s good enough, it’s going to survive; and if it’s not, well, it won’t Picture Quote #1

I suppose once in a while, a filmmaker makes a movie that’s more than just a sum of its parts, more than good acting or good filmmaking. It’s something else that has nothing to do with what you’ve done. This is in 1999, made by people in 1999 for people in 1999 about people in 1999 Picture Quote #1

Truly great actors carry their characters in silence with them. They communicate without words the relationships that predate the movie Picture Quote #1

I deliberately, in a way, went for something that was a huge challenge and was a big period film. I was excited about the canvas on which I could tell the story as much as the story itself Picture Quote #1

All I know is that I operate by going out to each of them and trying to learn the territory in which they operate. My language to each of them has to suit their brain Picture Quote #1

You just never know when movies are going to take off or not. The lucky thing about this was that it didn’t cost a lot of money, and therefore there wasn’t loads of pressure on me Picture Quote #1

I wanted to keep exploring... I’m not about to choose a series of movies in which I can use the same bag of tricks and style that I used in the first film Picture Quote #1

I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors, on small movies and big movies Picture Quote #1

I think movies are a director’s medium in the end. Theater is the actor’s medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance Picture Quote #1

You’re in the lap of the gods. If people go, they go, and if they don’t Picture Quote #1

You freeze with the number of opportunities given to you and just decide to do nothing at all Picture Quote #1

The characters are trapped within the lifestyle. It’s about what goes on before the movie starts Picture Quote #1

The movies that influenced me were movies that told their stories through pictures more than words Picture Quote #1
