Probably my four favorite directors are Werner Herzog, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Stanley Kubrick and Luis Buñuel, because with all of their work you can think beyond the edges of the film. They`re not films that dictate to you, this is what you must think. They`re all films that have compelling stories, but there are thoughts beyond the films themselves.
- Crispin Glover(In reference to the Oscar Family Album Tribute sequence at The 70th Annual Academy Awards (1998) (TV) and speaking live on British television following the Oscar ceremony in 1998) I was sat up there with the likes of Claire Trevor and Luise Rainer. It means a lot to me, it was amazing, they are living legends!
- Michael CaineNeither Rainer Werner, nor any of us could have succeeded, or produced the number of films that we did, just on our own. We showed our films to each other, discussed them vigorously and rarely agreed.
- Wim WendersRainer is playing a key role in the development of the team. An avoidable error was made, internal disciplinary action is being taken, and new safeguards are being put in place.
