3 December 2020 Justin Timberlake I like simple things. I like to sneak in the theatre and watch movies. I’m a movie buff.
3 December 2020 David Cronenberg Of course for many years directors have had to go on the road with their movies and promote them and I’ve done that since the beginning. So that’s not new but the forms of it are different such as with the internet.
3 December 2020 Francis Ford Coppola I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
3 December 2020 Joseph Gordon-Levitt I mean, movies in general tend to sort of portray time, space and identity as these very solid things. Time moves forward. Space is what it is. You are you, and you’re always you.
3 December 2020 Lawrence Kasdan The movies that made me want to make movies were action movies, and thrillers, and Kurosawa films, you know, where you have an opportunity every day to shoot it in an unusual way. I was looking for something like that.
3 December 2020 Danny Boyle I like action movies, even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies, which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.
3 December 2020 Elvis Presley I sure lost my musical direction in Hollywood. My songs were the same conveyer belt mass production, just like most of my movies were.
3 December 2020 Seth Rogen I’ve seen a lot of movies get made where no one has control. No one likes it.
3 December 2020 Louis C. K. I don’t like comedy. I like funny things. I don’t like comedy. Like, comedy movies are just, ‘Oh Jesus.’
3 December 2020 Gary Ross ‘Dr. Strangelove’ was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just can’t believe they actually blew up the world after that.
3 December 2020 Emma Roberts I really like Gwyneth Paltrow a lot, as far as her career, because I think she’s done a lot of small movies but she’s also done great, big movies, and she’s a really great actress.
3 December 2020 Ang Lee In the past I’ve made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can’t really hate them. You can discard them, but you can’t really hate them.
3 December 2020 Albert Brooks I’ve done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn’t take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral, it didn’t take off.
3 December 2020 Samuel L. Jackson I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill.
3 December 2020 Orlando Bloom I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.
3 December 2020 Lynn Redgrave I’m also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I’m doing it.
3 December 2020 Greg Kinnear ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ snowballed. It was a tiny movie. We shot it in 30 days, and it was really fun to do, but it was one of those small movies that you don’t hold out huge hope for.
3 December 2020 Vincent D'Onofrio It’s like why people read scary books or go see scary movies. Because it creates a distance. They’re scared, but they’re not going to get hurt.
3 December 2020 Manuel Puig Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.
3 December 2020 Ryan Gosling I think we’re very complicated and we’re capable of all kinds of things, and movies don’t reflect that.
3 December 2020 Kristen Wiig I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.
3 December 2020 Lawrence Kasdan I really liked Carrie a lot. That was one of Brian De Palma’s best movies.
3 December 2020 Emmanuelle Beart We were raised without movies, theater or music. We had only nature, the hills, the trees. When I got on the set of ‘Manon,’ I wasn’t star-struck because I didn’t know what a star was.
3 December 2020 Kristen Stewart It’s not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I’ve never quite believed actors when they say they don’t watch themselves.
3 December 2020 Christian Bale And being as I’m somebody who loves movies like The Machinist, I also love going along to big mass entertainment movies. I get in the mood for all kinds of movies, and so I like to try each of them.
