If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.

Roman Polanski 81 quotes

I don't really know what is shocking. When you tell the story of a man who is beheaded, you have to show how they cut off his head. If you don't, it's like telling a dirty joke and leaving out the punch line.

Roman Polanski 81 quotes

I can only say that whatever ...

I can only say that whatever my life and work have been, I'm not envious of anyone-and this is my biggest satisfaction.

My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way.

Whenever I get happy, I always have a terrible feeling.

My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way.

I don't really know what is shocking. When you tell the story of a man who is beheaded, you have to show how they cut off his head. If you don't, it's like telling a dirty joke and leaving out the punch line.

In Paris, one is always reminded of being a foreigner. If you park your car wrong, it is not the fact that it's on the sidewalk that matters, but the fact that you speak with an accent.

Roman Polanski 81 quotes

Why did Erich von Stronheim leave Germany? Why did Hitchcock leave England? If you were a director you'd like to work in Hollywood too. Now go ahead and ask me if I'm still Polish. You people keep asking me this question. You want Polish artists to make it in the world, but when they do, you accuse them of treason.

Roman Polanski 81 quotes

I see Macbeth as a young, open-faced warrior, who is gradually sucked into a whirpool of events because of his ambition. When he meets the weird sisters and hears their prophecy, he's like the man who hopes to win a million - a gamble for high stakes.

I would rather live in a country where children are protected and their predators prosecuted, and even (which in Hollywood is evidently not always the same thing) disapproved of.

The whole showmanship is NOT to answer every question.

It's easy to direct while acting; there's one less person to argue with.

I know that atmosphere of the Parisian apartment building, with the twin menaces of the concierge on the ground floor and the landlord upstairs.

Roman Polanski 81 quotes

If I had killed somebody, it wouldn't have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But f-ing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f- young girls. Juries want to f- young girls. Everyone wants to f- young girls!

I don't think that there would be more users if drugs were legalized.

I don't know anyone who is not using drugs for the reason that they're illegal.

I sometimes cry in the moments that are not necessarily dramatic or tragic in the films, often because of the music. I wonder whether it's the music that has that effect on you in this film.

To the audience it doesn't really matter how much the director struggled with an actor. It's the result that counts.

I consider myself more a craftsman than an artist.
