“The reason I've gotten into script-writing, which was accidental to begin with, was that I found it was a far more effective medium for violence. Which is something that I'd always written in songs, but the violence always sat strangely within a song. And I was always interested in the way in which you listen to murder ballads and things like that - these weird lines would kind of come out, like, I drug her by the hair or something - that sat weirdly in the song. Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.” WayWritingKindReasonSeemsFilmSongFoundLinesViolenceWrittenHairDrugMurderScriptsBetrayalMediumsSatBallads Author:Nick Cave
“A "snapshot" feature in USA Today listed the five greatest concerns parents and teachers had about children in the '50s: talking out of turn, chewing gum in class, doing homework, stepping out of line, cleaning their rooms. Then it listed the five top concerns of parents today: drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, suicide and homicide, gang violence, anorexia and bulimia. We can also add AIDS, poverty, and homelessness. . . . Between my own childhood and the advent of my motherhood--one short generation--the culture had gone completely mad.” ChildrenTodayTurnsCultureParentLinesMy OwnRoomsTalkingClassPovertyGoneFiveTeacherViolenceGenerationsChildhoodDrugConcernSuicideMadAddAddictionMotherhoodAidsFeaturesUsaPregnancyTeenageCleaningGangHomelessnessHomeworkAnorexiaDrug AddictionDrug AddictAdventGumChewingBulimiaSnapshotsHomicideParents And TeachersChewing GumTeenage PregnancyGang ViolenceAnorexia And Bulimia Author:Mary Blakely
“Why do people go to the cinema? What takes them into a darkened room where, for two hours, they watch the play of shadows on a sheet? The search for entertainment? The need for a kind of drug? ..I think that what a person normally goes to the cinema for is time: for time lost or spent or not yet had. He goes there for living experience; for cinema, like no other art, widens, enhances and concentrates a person’s experience-and not only enhances it but makes it longer, significantly longer. That is the power of cinema: ‘stars’, story-lines and entertainment have nothing to do with it.” PeopleThinkingNeedsKindPersonsArtTwoPlayStoriesLostStarsHoursLinesRoomsWatchesDrugShadowEntertainmentCinemaSheets Author:Andrei Tarkovsky

“What I like about Layer Cake is its intelligent through-line. First of all, I think it's very close to the truth; I think this is what successful drug dealers are like. They don't drive around in flashy cars, they don't show off, they behave very quietly, they get on with their job and they earn lots of money. And it goes up and up and up and up the scale. Secondly - and selfishly - I like the moral aspect of the movie, which is that violence has consequences, and you feel emotionally involved with the violence.” ThinkingFeelsFirstsShowsJobsLinesMoralSuccessfulViolenceCarInvolvedDrugConsequenceAspectIntelligentScalesBehaveCakeLayersLots Of MoneyDealerShowing OffDrug DealersFlashyFlashy Cars Author:Daniel Craig
