A Quote by Whit Stillman

I'm totally devoted to '30s cinema. — © Whit Stillman
I'm totally devoted to '30s cinema.
I spent my 30s figuring out how to be a grown up, I guess. I loved my 30s! My 30s were really about being happy with what I was doing.
I think Hollywood has gone in a disastrous path. It's terrible. The years of cinema that were great were the '30s, '40s, not so much the '50s...but then the foreign films took over and it was a great age of cinema as American directors were influenced by them and that fueled the '50s and '60s and '70s.
In the late 30s the name Pollock was totally unknown and unheard of.
My favorite decade of cinema would be kind of the '40s, yeah. I like things in the '30s, but you know, the sound recording in the '30s wasn't very good. But for some reason the movies in the '40s have the best personalities: Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper, Betty Grable, Gene Tierney, and all those people. For some reason, I seem to gravitate more toward the '40s, and I don't necessarily know why. I just love the people.
I'm a devoted husband. That must strike you as totally deviant.
I was living with my dad, and I loved it. But I could totally imagine that if I didn't move out quickly, I would end up staying there well into my 30s.
Since 80% of my career has been devoted to successful commercial cinema, I have always been told that I do not know how to act.
After watching mulattas shake it, I can totally understand why Brazil is devoted to my favorite body part, the ass.
I'm hard work to live with. Someone who wants to be my girlfriend has to be totally devoted because I don't give very much back.
I also think that the issue of doubt and uncertainty is always a good thing and I question why I believe what I believe. I see things changing all around me and I don't feel devoted to a form. If I'm devoted to anything, I'm devoted to the attempt - the "trying" to do something.
Cinema has become a global economy, totally international.
One should never become devoted to a teacher, any more than one should become devoted to a statue of a god. There is only one thing to be devoted to, and that is your mind.
As long as you can bootstrap, not at the sacrifice of competitive advantage, bootstrapping is a really powerful thing because it allows you to be totally devoted to your vision.
I remember thinking, when I was in my early 30s, that this is the best age to be, and I still believe your 30s are a wonderful time.
If anything, when you're in your late 20s, early 30s, and then mid-30s, you're getting less attractive.
I have always devoted time and energy to Tollywood because Bengal is very important to me. But I want to concentrate equally on Hindi cinema because that's where all the action is.
