Michael Pitt Quotations

When people go at war they cheapen things.

If a religious person says "No, no, no" and they won't listen to science, it makes me think that they don't have faith in their own religion.

I have fun making films. I love making films. It's the only thing I know how to do. And I do it well.

In a weird way scientists understand things on a higher level but it takes a lot of dedication and a lot of time.

I think that it's important not to take [acting] too seriously. It's all pretend. It's a strange job.

I was really impressed with Naomi [Watts]. She was a producer, and she was doing things that I wasn't really aware of. The way she was able to switch from handling problems to shoot a really difficult scene, I think is a real testament to her true ability.

Some directors are very free and some directors are very specific. It seemed like doing a play.

Every director is different and they all have different styles. I've worked with directors who were very specific and they gave a lot of direction. The one thing about Michael [Haneke]that I think is interesting is that he really has a reason for everything he's asking you. If you challenge it, he is open for discussion but he has a clear idea of what he wants with reasons why.

I don't really even know what Twitter is. I know that might sound wierd to some people. I don't use social media. I make music, so I use social media...it's more helpful for me when I'm making music than as an actor.

If I'm able to catch the screening, there's a point in the film where, like clockwork, a portion of the audience gets really emotional and begins to cry. And that's very difficult to make happen.
