I love 'Dr Strangelove.'

'Dr. Strangelove' was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just can't believe they actually blew up the world after that.

When Kubrick decided to go the black comedy route with his movie, he thought of me to give it that flavor.

Any film which views the darker side of life, which is death with a sense of humor, is very much to my taste.

In Goodfellas they have this one scene where the camera goes down some steps and walks through a kitchen into a restaurant and the critics were all over this as evidence of the genius of Scorsese and Scorsese is a genius.

It's often the case with directors that they don't like to share credit, which is the case of Stanley. He would prefer just A Film By Stanley Kubrick including music and everything.

I like the absurd and the surreal: the Coen brothers, Bunuel, Kubrick.

Movie directing is a perfect refuge for the mediocre.

Stanley Kubrick, I had been told, hates interviews. It's hard to know what to expect of the man if you've only seen his films. One senses in those films painstaking craftsmanship, a furious intellect at work, a single-minded devotion.
