Favorite George Hickenlooper Quotes

1. "I always say be humble but be firm. Humility and openness are the key to success without compromising your beliefs." ~ George Hickenlooper
2. "I was very inspired by Les Blank's film 'Burden of Dreams.' I think what's unique about his film and the two I've made is that they're close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they're rendering, and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives." ~ George Hickenlooper
3. "Kelly Preston is a remarkable human being and a great dramatic actress. It was a privilege as a director to tap into this part of her. Rarely do I make a kind of spiritual connection with my cast. Kelly was a wonderful exception. She is truly very special and I adore her." ~ George Hickenlooper
4. "Simon Monjack had nothing to do with 'Factory Girl.' He filed a frivolous lawsuit against us... making bogus claims that we had stolen his script. He held us literally to hostage and we were forced to settle with him as he held our production over a barrel." ~ George Hickenlooper
5. "As a filmmaker I find it much more rewarding to work with actors who are classically trained. It's about the work and only the work." ~ George Hickenlooper

7. "I'm very strongly in favor of the auteur theory." ~ George Hickenlooper
8. "Most people, 95% of people, are good people. It's the 5% who get seduced by power." ~ George Hickenlooper
9. "I love the grandiosity of Hollywood movies, and even in independents, I love the canvas you can tell your story on. I love fiction filmmaking, you really feel like you're creating something." ~ George Hickenlooper
10. "I think that narrative, fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater, art history, architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema, like cinema verite is film in its purest form." ~ George Hickenlooper
11. "I'm fascinated by failure, and I'm fascinated by finality. Shakespeare's historical plays are more universal than his comedies because they relate to the finality of life. Without finality, life would not be beautiful." ~ George Hickenlooper
