Famous quotes by Peter Weir:

"It was immediately apparent that it was full of tricky ingredients to balance. In fact, I found it very intriguing. What held me back from saying yes to the producer was that I wasn't sure who could play Truman."

"I don't know if there will ever be an ideal way of selling an original picture. Because everything you're doing, you're inventing."

"National film industries tend to move in cycles. In Australia right now, we're on a high, a feeling of potential, which as yet shows no sign of flagging. But the word "industry" is misleading. A small national cinema has no industry in the Hollywood sense."

"Well, all these stars have their houses swept quite regularly by people who work in the surveillance security business. They come in and they look for bugs and things."

"She is so cold and so hard and so neurotic because of what she's done. She's immensely wealthy - making profits of a Meryl-Made line of clothing and so forth. But she is so deeply compromised because of all of this."

"I'd love to have another film to go on to. I'm in the mood to work. But I have to be patient, you know, to find that particular kind of project. Occasionally I'll write one myself if I can summon up the energy."

"Then the producer said, "Do you know Jim Carrey?" And I thought, "My God, what an interesting idea!""

"Well, there's that girl on the Internet - although this isn't an example of someone who doesn't know they're on - but there's a girl on the Internet who posts one photograph every two minutes from her bedroom."

"So much of the work is intuitive. The resistance you detect is just that, a kind of evasion, a sense that too much analysis will inhibit creativity."

"I've become wary of interviews in which you're forced to go back over the reasons why you made certain decisions. You tend to rationalize what you've done, to intellectually review a process that is often intuitive."

"Normally as a director, you do look at other films and things that are relevant. But with this film, it became impossible because I became so aware of the camera placement."

"Music stops you from thinking."

"There's almost a fear that if you understood too deeply the way you arrived at choices, you could become self-conscious. In any case, many ideas which are full of personal meaning seem rather banal when you put words to them."
