Martin Scorsese Time Quotations

Sometimes God picks you up and tells you, "You've been messing around now. You're going to have to stop this, stop that, but I'll give you another chance." And you wonder why you're given another chance. It must be for something; it must be to celebrate life.

Sometimes when you're heavy into the shooting or editing of a picture, you get to the point where you don't know if you could ever do it again.

There was always a part of me that wanted to be an old-time director. But I couldn't do that. I'm not a pro.

If I'm not complaining, I'm not having a good time, hah hah!

Can a film really change anything? I mean, what was the last time? Maybe the Italian neo-realists, where they became the voice and the heart and the soul of Italy, a nation that had been destroyed. I don't know.

You never know how much time you have left.
