Danh ngôn của Martin Scorsese (Sứ mệnh: 7)

There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.
Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.
I love studying Ancient History and seeing how empires rise and fall, sowing the seeds of their own destruction.
I do know that some Buddhists are able to attain peace of mind.
Now more than ever we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this.
Very often I've known people who wouldn't say a word to each other, but they'd go to see movies together and experience life that way.
If your mother cooks Italian food, why should you go to a restaurant?
Our world is so glutted with useless information, images, useless images, sounds, all this sort of thing. It's a cacophony, it's like a madness I think that's been happening in the past twenty-five years. And I think anything that can help a person sit in a room alone and not worry about it is good.
Food tells you everything about the way people live and who they are.
My whole life has been movies and religion. That's it. Nothing else.
Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings.
I'm sad to see celluloid go, there's no doubt. But, you know, nitrate went, by the way, in 1971. If you ever saw a nitrate print of a silent film and then saw an acetate print, you'd see a big difference, but nobody remembers anymore. The acetate print is what we have. Maybe. Now it's digital.
I think all of us, under certain circumstances, could be capable of some very despicable acts. And that's why, over the years, in my movies I've had characters who didn't care what people thought about them. We try to be as true to them as possible and maybe see part of ourselves in there that we may not like.
