Stanley Donen Quotes

My childhood wasn’t very happy. It’s a long, grim story about being a Jew in a small southern town Picture Quote #1

I started dancing when I saw Fred Astaire in ‘Flying Down to Rio,’ at approximately nine years old. Fred Astaire influenced me, more than anything, to be in ‘show business Picture Quote #1

The funniest thing is not who influenced me positively, but who influenced me negatively. I had such an aversion to what Busby Berkeley did; in my early formative years, I thought it was terrible. Now, I think it’s wonderful. But then, I wanted to do anything but what Busby Berkeley did Picture Quote #1

There’s no more film. Film is gone. We photograph digitally and electronically. We don’t really use film the same way anymore - it’s disappearing little by little. Things change. We have to change with them. There’s no point in liking or not liking it. It is what it is Picture Quote #1

What I got, unconsciously, from admiring Fred Astaire was that he didn’t want what he was doing to look difficult. What was difficult, in my opinion, was making it look so genuine, so effortless. I equally have tried to remain unseen on the screen Picture Quote #1

You see, it took me so long, it was such a struggle, to move myself out of musicals - because I had had a success, nobody wanted to allow me to direct a non-musical picture. It was so hard. And the only way I could get it going was to become a producer myself Picture Quote #1

I don’t have too many friends. I have only a few people who I really love Picture Quote #1

I can still dance a little, yes, but I like singing better. It’s more fun Picture Quote #1

I don’t have too many friends. I have only a few people who I really love Picture Quote #1

What we all like in life, I think, is the challenge of making something... that is not easy to do Picture Quote #1

You know, sound was still a fairly new thing when I came into movies. And the reason musicals happened is because of sound. They could put music in the picture! That’s how it all began Picture Quote #1
