Joe Wright Art Quotations

I went to comprehensive school in North London and left without any qualifications [diploma]. And I was doing bits of acting and improv in a drama club in the evenings. Then I discovered you didn't need qualifications to go to art school, you just needed a body of work.

There's good art and there's bad art. A lot of action films are bad art, but Paul Greengrass showed us with the Bourne films that it's possible to make an action film with a political, social conscience.

An artist needs to live to create, and to live means to suffer.

I don't make a division between an art film and commercial art.

The human heart doesnt change that much, ... I think theyre a few writers where you dont understand where their talent comes from. Those kind of artists speak inherent emotional truths well always be attached to.
