Famous Scorsese Quotes
"Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out"
"It seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world and if it does, then only temporarily"
"And as I've gotten older, I've had more of a tendency to look for people who live by kindness, tolerance, compassion, a gentler way of looking at things"
