Ishiro Honda quotes

  • I try to express in my films things that no other art can approach. In my monster films for example, I use special effects in the same way one would use a special film stock, a special camera, and so on. Monster films permit me to use all of these elements at the same time. They are the most visual kind of film.
    -- Ishiro Honda

  • I try to pick characters that I find interesting and complex and that I feel I can bring something of myself to.

  • Not everyone sees you the way you do. Sometimes our imperfections are what makes us special. - Tripp

  • I'm not going to hurt her. I know she's special and I tried to stay away, but when I'm with I don't feel so cold and alone.
