Dan Gilroy Quotations

All of us have a bit of a sociopath inside of us, and it's wrong to think that somebody is just clearly sociopathic, because they're not. It's interesting to explore the shadings and nuances within a person. Those feelings exist within more human beings than people may want to acknowledge.

A number of years ago, I found a book of photography by Weegee; he was a crime photographer in the 1930s in New York. He was the first person to put a police scanner in a car and drive around.

The real reason why people are going with digital is that it's extraordinarily mobile, and it's cheaper, and it has a great image, and you just can't beat it at night. It's pulling in variations of colors; it's pulling in lights from 40 miles away - a candle would be seen.

I think there is an enormous sea change happening in the global workforce. It has a lot to do with globalization. I think that people used to have a hope for a career or meaningful employment, and its been reduced to internships, part-time work or just grossly underpaid work.

The smorgasbord of images now presented to us is getting bloodier. They're becoming more frequent - almost hourly.

I think a first-time director always has to convince a lot of people that they're ready to do it.

I have a strong desire to communicate what I feel about the world. That's exciting to me.

Has Werner Herzog ever said anything that wasn't true? What a brilliant fountain of wisdom. Everything he touches I'm just fascinated by.

Everything I've ever written, I had a very distinct vision of what I wanted it to look like. But, other directors never do it that way.

A sociopath is just a label and doesn't encompass the entire being of a person.
