(On why he would not add rap songs to the soundtrack to “Scarface”) “They said it would help promotion, presenting the film in a different way, but Giorgio’s music was true to the period, I argued — and no one changes the scores on movies by Marty Scorsese, John Ford, David Lean. If this is the `masterpiece’ you say, leave it alone. I fought them tooth and nail and was the odd man out, not an unusual place for me. I have final cut, so that stopped them dead.”
“I don’t see scary films. I certainly wouldn’t go see my films.”
“It’s always great to discover a new star of tomorrow.”
“It’s hard to make movies where you put women in peril any more. You can’t really stalk women around anymore. It’s very difficult. It’s sort of unsettling to field a lot of hostile questions about why you keep doing this and why you dislike women so much. You say, “It’s a murder mystery, I’m running out of victims.” It’s all right to kill men, but women are out. No one complained when I killed a man in “Sisters.”
“Women are more sympathetic creatures in jeopardy, plus they’re more interesting to photograph. I’d rather photograph a woman walking around with a candelabra than a guy. It’s as simple as that. Somebody once said that the history of cinema was made photographing women, and I think one could truthfully say that.”
Brian De Palma U.S. director (1940 – )
