From: Orpheus
Fellini: "Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me. "
Kubrick: "A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later."
Joel Coen: "I always admired Stanley Kubrick for the fact that he managed to beat the system somehow. I think he kind of had it all figured out."

Joel Coen, on film-making: "I guess it beats throwing trash for a living. "
Joel Coen: "I've never really understood that. It's a funny thing; people sometimes accuse us of condescending to our characters somehow-that to me is kind of inexplicable. "
Joel Coen: "Some people come out going, I don't get it. And I don't quite know what they're trying to get, what they're struggling for. We have had the reaction where people leave the movie sort of uncomfortable and befuddled. Although that wasn't our intention."
Joel Coen: "Maybe there should be less of a mystique around making movies. I just don't think that there's any real mystery there. "
Joel Coen: "Usually, I don't want to sit down and listen to the director gas on about his movie. I just can't actually imagine myself sitting down and having that much to say. "
And Joel said this with a straight face: "The architecture of a story can be a little bit different if it's a true story. "
