Klaus Kinski
Quote by Klaus Kinski on Money and Freedom
“I never said money is freedom! I said money buys freedom. BUYS! What does that mean, money is freedom? This is ridiculous: Money is freedom. It means nothing. What do you think, that a dollar in a savings account is freedom? Maybe you have understood nothing I have said. You are trying to make me sound like an American average citizen.”
Klaus Kinski
Quote by Klaus Kinski on Professionalism and Skills
“If I was doing a movie that was really bad, I always realized that I had to play my role as good as possible when the camera was on me. The fact that the movie was total shit did not bother me. For example, let’s say that there’s a hand that is used to playing the violin excellently. Let’s say that hand belongs to the world’s greatest violinist. But, the man finds himself out of work. Someone tells him “I don’t have a job for a violinist but I do have a job for someone who is willing to carry out trash.” The violinist takes the job. He has to do his new job well or else he won’t get paid. He won’t eat. Although his hand is forced to carry garbage, that doesn’t diminish the skill of the hand.”
Klaus Kinski
Quote by Henri-Louis Bergson on Joy and Creation
