I don’t think screenplay writing is the same as writing — I mean, I think it’s blueprinting.Robert Altman
Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything. … It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it’s a cactus.Enid Bagnold
If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.Stanley Kubrick
Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater.Roman Polanski
I could be just a writer very easily. I am not a writer. I am a screenwriter, which is half a filmmaker. … But it is not an art form, because screenplays are not works of art. They are invitations to others to collaborate on a work of art.Paul Schrader
I steal from every movie ever made.Quentin Tarantino
There is no reason why challenging themes and engaging stories have to be mutually exclusive - in fact, each can fuel the other. As a filmmaker, I want to entertain people first and foremost. If out of that comes a greater awareness and understanding of a time or a circumstance, then the hope is that change can happen.Edward Zwick
