About Nicolas Roeg: Nicolas Jack Roeg is an English film director and cinematographer.
Children's finger-painting came under the arts, but movies didn't.
Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.
I've used mirrors in a lot of movies. I think the mirror is an extraordinary thing, also the reflective, a reflection in water, etc.
Our memory and the movies keep movie stars alive for us, and Tony Curtis is still a star.
I've been told my movies are difficult to market.
Mirrors are the essence of movies.
A lot of my movies have come to be thought about only years after the fact, and I'm sad about that but also happy about it in a way, as it's given them longevity.
When you admire someone's work, you are amazed by who you think they are.
They think something's gone wrong, but in Don't Look Now, for instance, one scene was made by a mistake. It's the scene where Donald Sutherland goes to look for the policeman who's investigating the two women.
I like women in film. I like women in general, but I especially like to show them on film. They are not ciphers.
When I went to the cinema as a boy, when I saw a war film, I thought the general was the star, and that Cary Grant was an extra. I had no idea about the structure of film, but I loved going to the cinema.
