You want to enjoy making a movie - it's a wonderful, collaborative thing.

No, I'm a very normal and orthodox person that goes out of their way to present eccentricity. It's not that I do that so much now but I've been doing it for so many years that it's become routine now.

From Tony Kaye

So I've tried to be this very eccentric character, and that works very well if you want to be a painter which I did once upon a time, if you want to be a musician which I did once upon a time. But if you want to make movies and you want to make challenging movies, you've got to be the sanest person in the room.

From Tony Kaye

Everything that happens is meant to be. It's meant to happen like that. But sometimes you don't know at the time that it's meant to be disaster.

From Tony Kaye

As a documentary filmmaker, I'm very respectful, and my interview style is not intrusive. I don't really have an agenda. I just go in there, I mumble something or other, I wait for them to speak, and I wait for them to stop.

From Tony Kaye

I've come up through art school, through painting, through graphic design, through advertising, through TV commercials and music video. I've designed books, built billboards, matchbooks, corporate identities. I continuously paint, I've done conceptual art pictures.

From Tony Kaye

I'd love to have done 'John Carter.' I'd love to work for the Disney Corporation.

From Tony Kaye

I just spend my life studying the manufacture of sound and picture and my education, if you like, has come from what I've chosen to make sounds and pictures on.

From Tony Kaye

When I started my filmmaking journey 17 years ago, I honestly didn't know what a documentary film was.

From Tony Kaye

I'm trying to make as many films as I can.
