I think movies are a directors medium in the end. Theater is the actors medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance. – Sam Mendes
The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore – which is a great shame, but Id love to make a black-and-white movie one day. – Sam Mendes
I dont think of it as a competition – which might surprise you, given the way movies are reported constantly. – Sam Mendes
I wanted to keep exploring… Im not about to choose a series of movies in which I can use the same bag of tricks and style that I used in the first film. – Sam Mendes
Whenever I think about movies, I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film, you have a musical element to it, not just on the scoring, but in the way that the shots are edited – that has music and rhythm and time. – Frank Ocean
