It did remind me of something out of Greek mythology – the richest king who gets everything he wants, but ultimately his family has a curse on it from the Gods. – Martin Scorsese
Being a father at a later age is different from when I had my other two daughters when I was in my 20s and 30s. If youre in your 60s and youre with the kid every day, youre dealing with the mind of a child, so it opens up that childishness in you again. – Martin Scorsese
Cinema is a matter of whats in the frame and whats out. – Martin Scorsese
There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money, and thats just our system. The other is the people close around you, knowing when to accept their criticism, knowing when to say no. – Martin Scorsese
A preoccupied family: they none of them threw themselves into the interests of the rest, but each ploughed his or her own furrow. Their thoughts, their little passions and hopes and desires, all ran along separate lines. Family life is like this—animated, but collateral. – Rose Macaulay, Daisy & Daphne, 1928
At her birthday, my seven-year-old daughter will say that she wants these big cakes and certain expensive toys as presents, and I cant say no to her. It would just break my heart. But when I was little, for birthdays we just played outside and we were happy if we got any cake. – Goran Ivanisevic
