Terry Gilliam Quotes
«I'm just being perverse, ... The idea that after such a long gap two films come out in the same year, it makes me smile.»
Author: Terry Gilliam
«Everything in this business conspires to make you bitter and twisted and tough, ... I've always tried to keep a toughness on one side and complete vulnerability on the other. To me, if you get a thick skin, you might as well give up directing.»
Author: Terry Gilliam
«I like taking [movie stars] and letting them be something very different, ... Actors love it because it's an escape from having to be that character that the public wants them to be. I don't direct them so much as provide extra space to play in. Studios get very nervous about this. They want to hand out the same Big Mac each time, but I want to turn the Big Mac inside out.»
Author: Terry Gilliam

Well, he did his part of the deal and I'm hoping that 'Grimm' may be my part.»

«The Brothers Grimm»
Author: Terry Gilliam
«It often happens with films. You get to the end of production and you find that the film I was making is not necessarily the film that the financiers thought they were getting. What I find normally happens in those situations is that they find a compromise which isn't particularly good for the film, or you get into a head-to-head ego battle which, again, might not be good for the film.»
Author: Terry Gilliam
«We cut out the most expensive scene in the film!»
