Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you can't teach old fleas new dogs.

It's shocking to say, but the cinema is quite a while away from me, and I haven't got a car yet.

As soon as I get my car I think I'll be going to the cinema more. Since I don't go very often, there are no films that are a must see at the moment. I usually wait till they come out on DVD.

I don't go to the cinema much.

One of the things I love about cinema is the range.

I'm a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.

Normally I make myself swim, do exercises. For zest I like going to the cinema.

It's not worth it, it's not about money, especially when you're dealing with a culture. It should be about elevating the idea of what we are and who we are as people in the cinema, and that kind of stuff keeps dragging us back down.

Cinema Paradiso, because it reminds me of why I make movies, the magic of movies, the romance of movies.

It's up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You're either courageous or not. You have to find a way.

Even the great bad guys in cinema history, they're likable.

Realism is always subjective in film. There's no such thing as cinema verite.

I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.

Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.

Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.

It is also difficult to articulate the subtleties in cinema, because there aren't words or metaphors which describe many of the emotions you are attempting to evoke.

It took a while for me to grasp that my colleagues believe I have made an impact on the history of cinema.

Cinema has become a global economy, totally international.

When I go to a film, you're taking it easy and you let things wash over you. That's what cinema's all about. You get involved in a world that's being created in front of you.

For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.
