Robert Bresson
» Acting and Actors » “One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.”
» Cinema » “My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.”
» Cinema » “Films can only be made by by-passing the will of those who appear in them, using not what they do, but what they are.”
» Creativity » “Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.”
» Inspiration » “When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best — that is inspiration.”
» Media » “Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing.”
» Models and Modeling » “Model. Two mobile eyes in a mobile head, itself on a mobile body.”
» Novelty » “An old thing becomes new if you detach it from what usually surrounds it.”
» Originality » “The true is inimitable, the false untransformable.”
