Quotes

No, I just thought of a story and wrote down what I saw. It was about two kids in Ireland who went around killing people. It was called Travelers, and it was made as an independent film. Neil Jordan

It's nice to work with Hollywood because there is never any question of resources put at your disposal to make a film as long as it is the right thing to do. Neil Jordan

Neil Jordan quote: "I can't do a film if I don't start with the writing."
I can't do a film if I don't start with the writing. Neil Jordan
Neil Jordan quote: "I took two years away from making films to write a novel."
I took two years away from making films to write a novel. Neil Jordan
My conception of it was that in a normal film you have a story with different movements that program, develop, go a little bit off the trunk, come back, and end. Neil Jordan
Why should a horror film be just a horror film? To me, The Company of Wolves is a fairy tale; it's got all those elements plus a lot more. And we know that fairy tales aren't innocent any more. Neil Jordan
Neil Jordan quote: "Films have gotten leaner and leaner, cutting out all..."
Films have gotten leaner and leaner, cutting out all variations from the story line. Neil Jordan
