Any time you take a risk, you risk failure. But if you don't take risks, you don't get anywhere.

More from Stanley Kubrick
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."
"If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse."
"I don't really have any answers, I just have questions."
"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."
"I don't believe in inspiration. I believe in hard work, and I believe in technique."
About Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999)
American filmmaker (2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove, The Shining) whose perfectionist year-long shoots and 100-take method redefined auteurist cinema. Closely associated with Orson Welles (auteur predecessor and Citizen Kane director) and Steven Spielberg (younger collaborator (A.I. Artificial Intelligence)). For an intellectual contrast, see Quentin Tarantino, postmodern American filmmaker — Kubrick's films erase influences into singular monolithic vision; Tarantino's foreground every reference as a deliberate tribute. The two opposite ways auteurist cinema can be made.
