Terence Davies quotes
-
“After my father died, we began to live. He was psychotic. He really was terrifying.”
-- Terence Davies -
“I have no illusions about my filmmaking work but I must add I have no illusions about anybody else's either. I am very strict with myself and I think, "no, that could have been improved", "why didn't I put a little bit more then? Why didn't we come out then?" It was what I thought was right at the time and you have to stand by that. And if it completely fails you have got to say, "But that is what I meant at the time.".”
-- Terence Davies -
“There are films that can only be made in a specific country but that have a wider meaning. I think that's true of any art form.”
-- Terence Davies -
“I never think anyone will like what I do. I'm always terrified the critics won't like my film and of course you always count the people who leave at the screening. They are on your death list. The people who stayed, stayed because they wanted to. You see it in a different way with an audience. And when the screening Is over it's such a relief. It's such a struggle.”
