I just wanted to be an ordinary parish priest.

The term 'giant' is used too ...

The term 'giant' is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

Howard Hughes was this vision...

Howard Hughes was this visionary who was obsessed with speed and flying like a god... I loved his idea of what filmmaking was.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

You gotta understand, when mo...

You gotta understand, when moving images first started, people wanted sound, color, big screen and depth.

People want to classify and say, 'OK, this is a gangster film.' 'This is a Western.' 'This is a... ' You know? It's easy to classify and it makes people feel comfortable, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't really matter.

I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

Well the thing is that the Ne...

Well the thing is that the New York of 1846 to 1862 was very different from downtown New York now. Really nothing from that period still exists in New York.

Film in the 20th century, it's the American art form, like jazz.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

I would ask: Given the nature...

I would ask: Given the nature of free-market capitalism - where the rule is to rise to the top at all costs - is it possible to have a financial industry hero? And by the way, this is not a pop-culture trend we're talking about. There aren't many financial heroes in literature, theater or cinema.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

We can't keep thinking in a l...

We can't keep thinking in a limited way about what cinema is. We still don't know what cinema is. Maybe cinema could only really apply to the past or the first 100 years, when people actually went to a theater to see a film, you see?

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

Young film makers should learn how to deal with the money and learn how to deal with the power structure. Because it is like a battle.

Zombies, what are you going to do with them? Just keep chopping them up, shooting at them, shooting at them.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

I think all the great studio ...

I think all the great studio filmmakers are dead or no longer working. I don't put myself, my friends, and other contemporary filmmakers in their category. I just see us doing some work.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

People say you should do it t...

People say you should do it this way, someone else suggests that, yes, there's financing, but maybe you should use this actor. And there are the threats, at the end - if you don't do it this way, you'll lose your box office; if you don't do it that way, you'll never get financed again... 35, 40 years of this, you get beat up.

I know that I come from mid-20th century America, urban, specifically downtown New York, specifically an Italian-American area, Roman Catholic - that's who I am. And a part of what I know is there's a decency to people who tried to make a living in the kind of world that was around us and also the Skid Row area of the Bowery; it impressed me.

It's interesting that these themes of crime and political corruption are always relevant.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

It's hard to let new stuff in. And whether that admits a weakness, I don't know.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

Being a father at a later age...

Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If you're in your 60s and you're with the kid every day, you're dealing with the mind of a child, so it opens up that childishness in you again.

Martin Scorsese 206 quotes

Working with HBO was an opportunity to experience creative freedom and 'long-form development' that filmmakers didn't have a chance to do before the emergence of shows like 'The Sopranos.'

I go through periods, usually when I'm editing and shooting, of seeing only old films.
