As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail...Say what you are. Not what you would like to be. Not what you have to be. Just say what you are. And what you are is good enough.
John CassavetesNo matter how old you get, if you can keep the desire to be creative, you're keeping the man-child alive.
John CassavetesPeople who are making films today are too concerned with mechanics - technical things instead of feeling.
John CassavetesMost people don't know what they want or feel. And for everyone, myself included, It's very difficult to say what you mean when what you mean is painful. The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to... As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all, we must dare to fail. You must have the courage to be bad - to be willing to risk everything to really express it all.
