Fritz Lang's quotes

• [about CinemaScope] It's only good for funerals and snakes.
• Each picture has some sort of rhythm which only the director can give it. He has to be like the captain of a ship.

• [on Erich von Stroheim] In my opinion, there were only two directors in Hollywood who made films without regard to box-office success: Von Stroheim and myself.
• [on Edward G. Robinson] Each part he plays, he enriches with deep and warm understanding of human frailties and compels us to pity rather than condemnation, always adding vivid color to the intricate mosaic of motion picture reality.
• In America sex is preached, in France it is done.
• To begin with I should say that I am a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or only rarely, with my ear--to my constant regret.
