Anybody can direct a picture once they know the fundamentals. Directing is not a mystery, it's not an art. The main thing about directing is: photograph the people's eyes.
~ John Ford

Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.
~ Robert Altman

With passion. I'm very passionate about filmmaking. It's what I love to do....
~ Spike Lee

Never really went in for that kind of filmmaking about love. I think love...
~ Joe Pesci

The best approach is to let the film make itself, to let it grow organically, day by day. To find the rhythm of the director. To match a script to its space. To gain the confidence of the actors. To regulate the mood (good or bad) of the cast and crew.
~ Wong Kar-wai

It's not that easy. We all have habits and tastes and references that get in the way. It takes the same energy, the same time and money to make a great film as it does to make a piece of shit!
~ Wong Kar-wai

The big difference is in the level of communication and the amount of trust you share. What we make of our time together is what the film ultimately becomes.
~ Wong Kar-wai

The clouds moving across the road in random patterns, the traffic, what's going on by the roadside - all affect the shot. So you have to think just a little ahead, beyond your mundane self. Why fall back on old habits and other people's ways? Why not trust your eyes and intuition? Why not use taste instead of training? Try to find what best expresses what's going on, what's exciting to your eye. What you end up with may not be "new", it may not be brilliant, but at least you can say it's you.
~ Christopher Doyle

If only film was jazz, if only we could "jam"...We get closer to this with each film; my camera becomes more and more of a musical instrument. On and off, different film speeds, frame changes in shot...these are my key and register shifts. I riff, you solo, we jam towards a free form that we believe a film can be.
~ Christopher Doyle
