“We just talked about personal things, and that was part of the process because it cleared our heads. And then you can go right into it. But his extraordinary dedication to it… It wasn’t even dedication. It was like living it. He was in it. Remarkable.” - Martin Scorsese..

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.  

Orson Welles

Orson Welles once said that everything he knew about the art of photography a great cameraman - Greg Toland - taught him in half an hour. In truth, before the filming of "Citizen Kane" Toland invited Welles to his house and spent a weekend teaching Welles everything about lens and camera positions that he thought his novice director should know. For the remainder of his life Welles always payed Toland the ultimate compliment. "Not only was he the greatest cameraman I ever worked with," Welles often said,"he was also the fastest

Marilyn Monroe

“I’ve never fooled anyone. I’ve let people fool themselves. They didn’t bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn’t argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn’t.” 

Stanley Kubrick

Spartacus (1960) :Cinematographer Russell Metty walked off the set, complaining that Stanley Kubrick, was not letting him do his job. Metty was used to directors allowing him to call his own shots little oversight, while Kubrick was a professional photographer who had shot some of his previous films by himself. Subsequently, Kubrick did the majority of the cinematography work. Metty complained about this up until the release of the film and even, at one point, asked to have his name removed from the credits. However, because his name was in the credits, when the film won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, it was given to Metty, although he actually didn't shoot most of it. (source : imdb)

James Cameron

If you wait until the right time to have a child you'll die childless, and I think film making is very much the same thing. You just have to take the plunge and just start shooting something even if it's bad. 

Steven Spielberg

People have forgotten how to tell a story: Stories don’t have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.
