“We share a lot of the same passion for filmmaking. We love it deeply. It’s in our blood,” “He taught me everything I know, so his taste is my taste.&#8221; “I’m a calmer person.  He goes through very strong emotional moods because he’s constantly challenging himself, asking have I done right here? It’s good that I work more diligently and don’t go through the ups and downs that he does. It helps him calm down.” -Thelma Schoonmaker on her long-standing partnership with Scorsese

Martin Scorsese reacts to his Golden Globe nomination

“Making ‘Hugo’ was an extraordinary experience for me. It gave me a chance to work in 3D, which I’ve wanted to do since I was young; it allowed me to make a child’s adventure, the type of picture that I loved when I was young; and it provided an occasion to pay tribute to one of the cinema’s greatest pioneers, Georges Méliès,” he said in a lengthy statement.

“Given the support they’ve provided to the Film Foundation in our efforts to restore many films over the years, the recognition of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this particular picture has a very special meaning for me,” he added.
