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.

More from Stanley Kubrick
"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."
"You can't make a movie for the critics. You have to make it for yourself and hope that enough people like it."
"I like to work with actors who are a little bit crazy."
"The most powerful thing in the world is an idea whose time has come."
"The whole idea of being a great artist is to be able to express something that no one else has expressed before."
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.
