Joseph Losey's quotes
- I am frequently told that my films don't make money. Since I have averaged one film a year for 30 years--some of them expensive ones--I can only conclude that somebody is making money.
- Films can illustrate our existence . . . they can distress, disturb and provoke people into thinking about themselves and certain problems. But NOT give the answers.
- Film is a dog: the head is commerce, the tail is art. And only rarely does the tail wag the dog.
- [on Ginger Rogers] Ginger Rogers was one of the worst, Red-baiting, terrifying reactionaries in Hollywood.
- Once it's finished and been exposed to an audience, I very seldom can sit through a film of mine again. Almost never.
- He, my grandfather, was called Joseph Walton Losey. My father was called the same, number two, and I was called the same, number three, and I was determined to break this. When my first son was born I gave him the name of Gavrik with *no* middle name.
- [on Tennessee Williams] He's a delightful man, and we became very close, but he was good for me for only three to four hours a day, what with drugs and drink, and when he was too far under, he was terribly abusive.
- [on The Romantic Englishwoman (1975)] There is nothing in the world Glenda Jackson can't do. She's a very good actress, absolutely professional, and for me totally inaccessible. And a bore to work with. Michael Caine I found an absolute delight.
