Stanley Kubrick — "I think the big mistake in schools is to try to teach children to be like adults…"

"The test of a man's character is what he does when no one is watching."

"The most overrated film of all time is 'Citizen Kane'."

"The human mind is a wonderful thing. It starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public."

"A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later."

"I'm not interested in making films that are purely entertainment. I want to make films that make people think."
