Andy Wachowski Quotations

The script was too disturbing. We showed it to some people in Hollywood who said, This is a bad idea. I can't make this. I'm rich.

The script was a synthesis of making mythology relevant in a modern context, relating quantum physics to Zen Buddhism, investigating your own life.

We started out thinking of this as a comic book. We filled notebook after notebook with ideas. That's where the script came from.

We've always loved going to the movies. Our mom and dad are big movie fans. They'd take us on these movie orgys where we'd see sometimes three movies in a day.

The way a film can change over the generations... You watch a movie when you're 20 years old, and you see the same movie when you're 35 years old or 40 years old, and something happens. The movie changes because we change as individuals.

We thought we'd write a good script for women, giving them the fun roles that generally men get.

Part of being a filmmaker is also being a craftsman.

'Cloud Atlas' is for everybody. The main character in the movie is humanity.

After Bound, we were offered a lot of lesbian thrillers.

There's something uniquely interesting about Buddhism and mathematics, particularly about quantum physics, and where they meet. That has fascinated us for a long time.
