Stanley Kubrick — "The best education is to travel."

"I think the best plots are the ones that are not too obvious, that are sort of hidden in the subtext, so that you have to think about them a bit."

"Perhaps it's a good thing that I'm not very social, because I don't think I could stand the company of most living people."

"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."

"The great thing about being a director is that you get to play God. You get to create your own world, and you get to control everything in it."

"I don't believe in God, but I'm not an atheist. I'm an agnostic. I don't know if there's a God or not, and I don't think anyone else does either."
