Inspirational Quotes by Mike Leigh
- There's a constant drip and trickle of life that goes into one's awareness really and consciousness of things.
- It creeps up on you and becomes an obsession. It comes out of watching a million movies.
- But actually I make films that I think are extremely sophisticated and cinematic.
- But films should be voyeuristic. What else is a film if you're not snooping into somebody else's lives?
- I feel very much ideologically, politically if you like, and emotionally part of the European cinema.
- I'm developing the stuff all the time. There's a film in my head. I'm imagining a film.
- I've walked out of films. But for every film I've ever walked out of, I've probably walked out of 500 plays.
- My work is about life as you and I experience it. You're either lucky or you're not lucky; either your relationship works or it doesn't.
