“I've seen my own films close to a thousand times in one form or another. When you edit them. When you shoot them. Then you run them over and over again for sound and music. Then you'd go to premiere screenings, and have to do promotional screenings in other cities. I can't watch any of my old films.” I CanRunningFilmFormSoundMy OwnCitiesWatchesThousandEditsScreeningPremieresSound And Music Author:William Friedkin
“I've been extremely lucky to work with Elmer Bernstein, Howard Shore over the years, but I've always imagined films with my own scores, because I don't come from that world or that period of filmmaking. And so how could I make up my own score on a film like this where it isn't necessarily made up of popular music from the radio or the period; it isn't necessarily classical music. But what if it's modern symphonic music?” IfsWorldYearsMadeFilmMy OwnModernPeriodsLuckyRadioScoreWhat IfShoreFilmmakingClassical MusicPopular Music Author:Martin Scorsese
“I'm trying to avoid any more asshole roles, at least for a little bit. The main criteria for me when choosing a project is a good director.
