It’s hard for people to understand editing, I think. It’s absolutely like sculpture. You get a big lump of clay, and you have to form it – this raw, unedited, very long footage. Thelma Schoonmaker
When you’re making the film, you don’t really think the audience; it’s only when you start editing that you really start to became aware of your audience because you’re thinking of how you communicate these ideas, and how lucid can you be, and yet stay within the language you’ve established. Jonathan Glazer
What you write on the page has nothing to do with when you’re on set. When you’re on set, it has nothing to do with when you’re in the editing room. And when you’re in the editing room, it has nothing to do with the final movie. You just have to let it go. Lori Petty
When you’re in the editing room, the dangerous thing is that it becomes like telling a joke again and again and again. Eventually, the joke starts to not be funny. So you have to be careful that you’re not throwing the baby out with the bath water. Ridley Scott
I came from the school of cinema verite documentaries, which was: Do not manipulate reality as it was happening but create a narrative in the editing room. Mira Nair
Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that’s art. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
To receive footage that has been shot with editing in mind, it is a blessing. Thelma Schoonmaker
I like files. I like editing a CSS file without necessarily having to edit an HTML file. I like fixing a problem by replacing a corrupted file with a clean one. Maybe I’m set in my ways, but I don’t consider it a hardship to open a folder or replace a file. Jeffrey Zeldman
They make Spy Kids, they make Scream, they make A Scary Movie. This doesn’t do that, so it could be a very bad marriage. I’m trying to keep this potential nightmare quiet because we’re just finishing editing. Terry Gilliam
With bad movies, I have this image in my head of the director and the editor in the editing room watching a scene that is not happening, looking at each other and saying, ‘Put some music in there.’ Gustavo Santaolalla
If you’ve noticed that I don’t use long takes, it’s not because I don’t like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It’s more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio. Orson Welles
Sometimes when I’m in the editing room and there’s a new person there, like a music editor or a post person that I don’t really know, I’m like, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t be in here. This is too personal – you can’t watch this.’ But then I’m like, hey dummy, you’re about to show this to the whole world. Pamela Adlon
I don’t come from a film background. I haven’t learned anything about films or film-making. But I have a thirst to know everything about my profession. I want to learn about cinematography, about editing, about music recordings, about post-production. So when people in the know talk, I willingly listen. Priyanka Chopra
I’m a student. I want to do better, and I want directors who can find the actress in me and be my teachers. I’m interested in the whole process of editing, post-production and direction. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

When I write a story or think of a scene, I always play some song in the background. Sometimes when I don’t add a song at the writing stage, I do it while editing the film. Thiagarajan Kumararaja
I believe there’s a platonic ideal for every book that is written, like there’s the perfect version of the book somewhere in the ether, and my job is to find what that book is through my editing. Sheila Heti
With all editing, no matter how sensitive – and I’ve been very lucky here – I react sulkily at first, but then I settle down and get on with it, and a year later I have my book in my hand. Michael Morpurgo
I love producing. I am loving doing that. I think that is my most natural space in the business. I just love producing or editing and that’s where I thrive. Will Smith

I was the Playmate editor for ‘Playboy’ for two years. I produced two years’ worth of centerfolds.

Holly Madison
Editing cannot be taught. Developing your own taste cannot be taught. Ellen Datlow
For me, shooting, editing, and scoring rely on rhythm. Donnie Yen
The process of editing is what I enjoy most – putting the pieces together and making sense out of them. Christian Marclay

I was writing, directing, and editing my own films as a young kid with my parents’ video camera. Meagan Tandy
I like the idea of the documentary as a portrait. There’s not a chronological beginning, middle, and end structure. You build something in the editing room that’s shaped by getting to know the person and digging deeper, unpeeling the layers of them as you get to know them. Spike Jonze
Editing is really like plumbing a good deal of the time. You put two things together, and a current runs through it. Thelma Schoonmaker
Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that’s kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film.

I don’t do any research. It’s all about gut. Editing – it’s always about gut. Graydon Carter
I am not altogether confident of my ability to put my thoughts into words: My texts are usually better after an editor has hacked away at them, and I am used to both editing and being edited. Which is to say that I am not oversensitive in such matters. Stieg Larsson
Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing – ‘Oh, let’s put that sentence there, let’s get rid of this’ – have become commonplace in films and music too. Brian Eno
The bottom line is that your performance is made in the editing room. Brent Sexton
Everything’s always got to be character-based. We know we can’t, if we’re sitting in the editing room, watch the sequence for more than 20 seconds without a character having a point of view or moving the action forward; my brain just shuts down, or I start thinking about my laundry. Anthony Russo
I’m not a person who believes in the great difference between women and men as editors. But I do think that quality is key. We’re very good at organizing and discipline and patience, and patience is 50 per cent of editing. You have to keep banging away at something until you get it to work. I think women are maybe better at that. Thelma Schoonmaker
I think the only reason people use PCs is because they have to. Mac is the most streamlined computer there is. I started using the Mac in college because I was doing editing, and they were the only computers we could use to do that. Cary Fukunaga

I personally think a fight scene is the most cinematic thing you can witness because all the elements of filmmaking come together, you know, with the camera speed changes, editing, make up effects and general smoke and mirrors of trying to make it look like you are hitting someone when you’re not. It’s filmmaking in it’s purest form, I think. Scott Adkins
The essence of cinema is editing. It’s the combination of what can be extraordinary images of people during emotional moments, or images in a general sense, put together in a kind of alchemy. Francis Ford Coppola
The first thing I do in the editing room is the ‘radio edit,’ where you listen to the dialogue and don’t even look at the visuals. The rhythm, the music of the comedy, has to work. Jay Chandrasekhar
The film’s dramatic requirements should always take precedence over the mere aesthetics of editing. Edward Dmytryk
We Need To Talk About Kevin,’ as an adaptation, was pretty major. It’s a long book, and it’s in letters, so it was a real editing experience to boil that down and make it cinematic. I learned a lot doing that film. Lynne Ramsay
I’ve always loved the editing process. Kate Herron
When I was 11, at prep school, I was starring in the school play, editing the school magazine and standing as Conservative candidate for the 1959 mock election. Gyles Brandreth
Think of the imagination as a giant stone from which we carve out new ideas. As we chip away, our new ideas become more polished and refined. But if you start by editing your imagination, you start with a tiny stone. Brian Chesky
I took courses at USC in film editing and art direction and photography when I was still in high school. Ray Harryhausen
I’m not a mother of children, but I’m a different type of mother where my approach to design is more in line with nature. It’s less about dictating and more about editing and listening and allowing something to grow. So I nourish and let the material express what it wants to be. Neri Oxman
I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It’s all about editing. Alexander Payne

I’m very interested in the editing process – in all aspects of film-making, really. Alicia Vikander

I liked film-making, but the most difficult thing was the editing. I found it tormentingly difficult. Vanessa Redgrave
Writing, of course, is writing, acting comes from the theater, and cinematography comes from photography. Editing is unique to film. You can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously, and it creates a new experience. Stanley Kubrick
I made adult films for over 12 years. Apart from the directing aspect, I did all of it – the filming, the editing and the stills. I shot about 300 movies, which was great fun. DJ Yella

You know, I do music. If you look under the hood of the industry I’m in, it’s all based on technology. From radio to phonographs to CDs, it’s all technology. Microphones, reel-to-reels, cameras, editing, chips, it’s all technology. will.i.am
Everything I do with my day is related to Superwoman. I’m either doing conference calls or writing a script or reading a script, editing a video, shooting a video. Lilly Singh
This applies to many film jobs, not just editing: half the job is doing the job, and the other half is finding ways to get along with people and tuning yourself in to the delicacy of the situation. Walter Murch
Editing is a lot about patience and discipline and just banging away at something, turning off the machine and going home at night because you’re frustrated and depressed, and then coming back in the morning to try again. Thelma Schoonmaker
Well, you always discover a lot in the editing room. Particularly the action, because you have to over-shoot a lot and shoot an enormous amount of material because many of the sequences have to be discovered in the editing and manipulation of it. Christopher Nolan
I feel that working with the camera and editing it is actually my strong suit. Adam Yauch

You have to find the movie in the editing room, and it can’t be four hours; it has to be two hours. Peter Landesman
Every morning, we choose between milk or tea or coffee. Usually, I know what I like, but I don’t rule out changing my idea sometimes. The editing process is one of the most important parts in everyday life. The same is with my work: mistakes are part of the decision-making process. Maurizio Cattelan
There is anxiety, but it comes after you’ve finished filming because it’s out of your hands; people are editing it, they’re cutting it, marketing it. And it’s… part your career sort of rides on that. But when you’re actually filming it’s a team thing and it really feels good there for me. Hugh Jackman
I’m in awe of directors like the Coen brothers who can shoot their script and edit it, and that’s the movie. They’re not discovering the movie in postproduction. They’re editing the script they shot. Spike Jonze
I’ll still make movies for studios, but my editing process will be much further removed from the studio system. Because I don’t understand it. I don’t understand the whole testing-numbers thing. It is not how I want to make movies. So if that’s how they do it, then I don’t think I want to do it. Spike Jonze
You can spend hours editing an email but send it as if you wrote it in a minute. Sally Rooney
Editing is the same as quarrelling with writers – same thing exactly. Harold Ross
Every time I take a photo, it goes into SnapSeed. Even if it’s just a price tag on something, it still goes into SnapSeed, and I start editing it. I’m not a photographer, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to make a picture look cool. Hunter Hayes
That’s the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you. Abel Ferrara
