I like controversy. The more controversial it gets, the more interesting it is.

I'm a huge cinemaphile. My interest in filmmaking came out of experimenting with different genres, and I wanted to go back to working in a way that was more personal, which, for me, was artwork. Commercials and films are more collaborative.

From Marco Brambilla

The art world has become the R&D department for so much fashion and music, so knock-offs are getting better and better.

From Marco Brambilla

From Marco Brambilla

Usually, the energy in elevators is so awkward; I mean, I can't imagine the politics in the ones in the Conde Nast building.

From Marco Brambilla

I never intended to become a commercial filmmaker in the first place. What I do requires time and experimentation. Commercial work is often not the best way to get the most innovative work, because it's about money and marketing. Although advertising is now embracing non-commercial people.

From Marco Brambilla

From Marco Brambilla

Just doing a project because it's an opportunity won't create meaning. As an artist, I need something to communicate.

From Marco Brambilla

Thematically, most of my work deals with transition, our culture's constant acceleration, and emotional connection and disconnection through technology.

From Marco Brambilla

I'm very obsessed with the energy of New York and the idea of the way people behave in the city versus the way they behave in a natural environment.
