Anthony Minghella's quotes

  • The only lesson to extract from any civil war is that it's pointless and futile and ugly, and that there is nothing glamorous or heroic about it. There are heroes, but the causes are never heroic.
  • When I became the chair of the British Film Institute, I didn't understand how much of my time would be taken up with trying to make a case for the British Film Institute: what it's for, why it exists, why it needs its money.
  • I had never thought of myself as a director and found out that I was not. I am a writer who was able to direct the films that I write.
  • [from his Oscar acceptance speech, 1997] It's my daughter's 18th birthday today - happy birthday Hannah! This is a great day for the Isle of Wight today.
  • I never feel more myself than when I'm writing; I never enjoy any day more than a good writing day.
  • I want to feel in film. I want to understand, and I want to see the parallels.
  • You can't elect your voice as a filmmaker. You might want to, you might want to design the kind of filmmaker you could be. You might aspire to be a particular kind of filmmaker, but you can't elect it.
