Joseph Kosinski quotes

As a director, if you know what you want, then it's not scary. (Joseph Kosinski)
Listen, whatever makes the movie better. That's the attitude you have to have. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
Go out and make something that reflects your interests, your taste, and your ideas. No one will pay you to make something until you have a few things you can show that you've directed. I got my start by making short films on my own. View quote

Joseph Kosinski

Joseph Kosinski
Disney's clearly in the business of doing giant tent pole movies based on properties that they own. And that's what they should be doing because they're great at doing that. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
An established property can be a blessing and a challenge. On one hand you have all those fans of the original that you can pick up with and continue on with but then you have a lot of people out there who haven't seen the first and might feel like this isn't a movie for them because of that.

Joseph Kosinski
I don't think every movie should be made in 3-D, and it should depend on whether it's one of these films that's more immersive or needs to be taken to another world. I'm interested in other formats. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
Of course there are always exceptions, but opinions are not to be feared. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
I realized that I loved using computers to create something, but being an architect just wasn't going to keep me interested. The idea of a life spent obsessing over bathroom details for an Upper East Side penthouse was pretty depressing. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
It's a fine line to find that balance: to show people enough to give them the promise of something unique, and something they want to see, but at the same time make sure that when they show up for the movie, they're surprised by what they eventually get. (Joseph Kosinski)
I think the excitement of movies is discovering stuff you weren't expecting, and I hope to preserve that. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
You never watch movies the same as you do when you're a kid, ever again. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
I'm a huge electronic-music fan. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
But I grew up in a place where no one knew anyone in the entertainment business, I never knew it was an actual career. The closest I ever got to movies was going to watch them, and I thought that's the way it would be, so I never considered working in this business. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
That's the tricky thing these days: being able to surprise people. View quote
Joseph Kosinski
Well I grew up in the Midwest, and I think the first film that blew my mind was 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' View quote
