Some Jonathan Demme's quotes. Goto "Jonathan Demme's quotation" section for more.I've been making films since the '70s and trying to develop that best possible fiction-film style that I feel is the most expressive. At a certain point, I felt I was winding up making the same film stylistically and I found that boring.
Tags: Best, Boring, TryingI've never fallen into what I consider to be a trap of trying to figure out something analytically that could be a very popular film. I would hope my enthusiasm could match up with something with that potential.
Tags: Film, Hope, TryingWhen Silence of the Lambs did well commercially it was more than anything. My partner Ed Saxon and I were just so relieved that finally we had made a movie that had made some money!
Tags: Money, Movie, SilenceA trilogy is a pretty abstract notion. You can apply it to almost any three things.
Tags: Almost, Pretty, ThreeAs a kid, a little kid, I loved going to the movies, and now I love making movies.
Tags: Love, Making, MoviesI didn't go to film school so my learning was done out in public and showed up on the screen.
Tags: Done, Learning, SchoolI don't think it's sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie.
Tags: Good, Great, MovieI don't think of Storefront Hitchcock or Stop Making Sense as documentaries, I think of them more as performance films.
Tags: Making, Sense, StopI only work with actors who take full responsibility for their characters.
Tags: Characters, Full, WorkI remember the Neil Young brand hitting me very hard immediately. He wasn't an acquired taste. I loved him immediately.

Tags: Enthusiasm, GuidedIt's such a rich experience when you enter into a subject from a documentary point of view. It's hard for fiction to compete with that.
Tags: Experience, Hard, RichNothing beats a live performance. Nothing.
Tags: BeatsThey're out there, this appalling idea that there are companies that profit - not just profit but profit enormously - through war.
Tags: Idea, Profit, WarAs much as I love acoustic Neil Young - and I do deeply - I may be more passionate about the electric. Luckily it's not a contest, and we never have to make that choice. But Neil Young on an electric guitar - I feel like I've never seen or heard anything like it.
Tags: Guitar, Love, MayDocumentaries - my God, there is so much going on in our country and in the world today that every time you open the newspaper or turn on the radio or watch the news on TV there is another documentary subject. We're getting the headlines for a second, shaped by corporate delivery most of the time, but what's really the story there?
