I don’t make actors uncomfortable, I just remove the possibility of lying. by Stanley Kubrick

James was the only one who understood the set: no one was acting, we were all negotiating.

Stanley films like a man auditing human emotion, and somehow that’s why they’re masterpieces.

At least he let you improvise; he made the rest of us perform in slow-motion despair.

Peter, you did seven takes just to prove you could leave talent out of it.

James, you say that like you weren’t secretly enjoying the extra takes.

Stanley, you said that like it was a compliment and not a hostage note.
