Famous quotes by Wim Wenders:

"The West was the one place where I knew I needed to go. It's the one landscape where I could just, blindfolded, shoot."

"(I must) drive around a bit in this country before I have the right to make a film here again."

"utterly self-absorbed and isolated itself more and more from the rest of the world. That was very painful for somebody like me who loves America and didn't want to see it pervert all its virtues."

"I remember saying, `This will change the course of history,' when the towers fell, ... Little did I know, though, how right I had been."

"I grew up in postwar Germany. It was the opposite of the American West. The West became in my mind the ideal place on this planet. When I got there, I felt more at home than anywhere."

"It's what people all over the world are concerned with -- the disintegration of the family."

"It's as if Hopper had painted his entire work here."

"easy prey."

"At the moment it is much more unknown to me here than in the American west, which I know quite well now -- much better than Saxony, Mecklenburg or even Bavaria."

"The more opinions you have, the less you see."

"Take opera for example - to go to the opera you have to dress up in a tuxedo and pay lots of money."

"Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it."

"In this age of consumerism film criticism all over the world - in America first but also in Europe - has become something that caters for the movie industry instead of being a counterbalance."

"Entertainment today constantly emphasises the message that things are wonderful the way they are. But there is another kind of cinema, which says that change is possible and necessary and it's up to you."

"Any movie that has that spirit and says things can be changed is worth making."

"I'm getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s."

"Many of the critics today get airline tickets, hotel accommodation, bags, beautiful photographs, gifts and other expenses paid by the distributors, and then are supposed to write serious articles about the movie."

"Many French directors, having now realised there was no more real criticism, that the standards of the past have gone, are very offended about the quality of film criticism."

"Butte was once a grand city. To me, that city is like one big stage for Edward Hopper. You could put your camera anywhere, and you felt you were looking at his paintings."

"On the contrary a film can promote the idea of change without any political message whatsoever but in its form and language can tell people that they can change their lives and contribute to progressive changes in the world."
