Werner Herzog Quote

Academia is the death of cinema. It is the very opposite of passion. Film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates.

Werner Herzog

What is art but a way of seeing?

Saul Bellow

• Art

I hate to look at myself in a mirror, and I never go and see films.

Ursula Andress

When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.

Alberto Giacometti

Men want girls. Most men want little girls. They want them in film. They want to look at them. That's all they want. An evolved man is not going to look that way.

Rosanna Arquette

One of the reasons I did this, because I wasn't really looking for another science fiction film, was that my daughter can see it. She's 9 and it's really a good film for all ages.

Sigourney Weaver

Cute is when your personality shines through your looks. Like, when you see someone's personality in the way they walk and you just feel like hugging them every time you see them.

Natalie Portman

Many people will say, well, clothes should be worn; but I think people can look at them in public, like seeing a film. I think museum exhibitions are very important.

Issey Miyake

The challenge to me as a director was for the audience to see the film as going on in a straight line, so that they did not sense all of these break-ups. I did not want a film to be a collage of all these images.

Pedro Almodovar

I'm only interested in being a good actor and in being remembered for my best films, not for the way I look. But it seems inevitable in this line of work that I have to care about the way I look without getting obsessed about it.

Kevin Costner

Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.

Ingmar Bergman

• Soul
• Conscience
• Art

Let's put it this way: art house theaters are vanishing. They have almost disappeared completely, and that means there's a shift in what audiences want to see. And they have to be aware of that and be realistic. It's as simple as that.

Werner Herzog

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.

Edgar Degas

I look at everything in an artistic way.

Tony Curtis

Art does not reproduce what we see; rather, it makes us see.

Paul Klee

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

Henry David Thoreau

I didn't have that much confidence. Maybe it looks that way. I'm glad it does.

Elia Kazan

The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them.

Alfred Hitchcock

Every great film should seem new every time you see it.

Roger Ebert

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

Henry David Thoreau
