Do you have a link to him saying that? I don't remember/haven't encountered him saying anything like that. I've watched all the behind the scenes documentaries/ commentary tracks for all his films And I took a Kubrick class in film school, but it's been a decade since then, so I could be wrong.

To me, the Shining is about a family moving in a haunted house where the father had a past life. He's drawn in my the ghosts and evil in the house, exacerbated by his alcoholism. He tries to murder his family and fails.

2001 is about humanity and how it grows and evolves and told from the dawn of mankind through to the distant future.
