3 December 2020 Werner Herzog I do other sorts of things. I act in other people’s movies. I direct operas. I write books.
3 December 2020 Alexander Payne Even if we die at 100, we’re still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There’s a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I’m not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years.
3 December 2020 Don DeLillo I think more than writers, the major influences on me have been European movies, jazz, and Abstract Expressionism.
3 December 2020 Vincent Cassel I did direct two short movies. I learned many things, and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral, and it’s not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting.
3 December 2020 Stephenie Meyer I’ve seen little pieces of ‘Interview with a Vampire’ when it was on TV, but I kind of always go yuck! I don’t watch R-rated movies, so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror.
3 December 2020 Russell Crowe My children have never watched any of my films. Charlie knows that daddy makes movies, but he says they are not good enough for him to watch.
3 December 2020 Joseph Barbera Bill Hanna and I owe an awful lot to television, but we both got our start and built the first phase of our partnership in the movies.
3 December 2020 Harvey Weinstein You know, my movies are important on an economic basis, on an artistic basis.
3 December 2020 Christian Bale I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It’s wonderful, isn’t it?
3 December 2020 John Leeson It couldn’t sound like a dog, because K9 isn’t a dog, but I made it sound as mechanical as possible.
3 December 2020 Ang Lee I think a lot of people do big movies not because they are talented artists but because they can function in the circumstances.
3 December 2020 Josh Radnor I went through this very serious Woody Allen phase in college and a little bit after college. I still see his movies.
3 December 2020 Francis Ford Coppola Steven Spielberg is unique. I feel that the kinds of movies he loves are the same kinds of movies that the big mass audience loves. He’s very fortunate because he can do the things he naturally likes the best, and he’s been very successful.
3 December 2020 Michael Sheen I’m a big fan of vampire movies generally and that sort of tradition of characters.
3 December 2020 Bette Davis The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can’t get work in the movies.
3 December 2020 Kevin Costner I’m proud of all the movies I’ve made. They’re not sequels, they’re not franchises. And the reason I pick my films carefully is that I don’t want to spit on my life. I like to think of myself as more than that.
3 December 2020 Christopher Nolan I’ve always been a movie guy, movies have been my thing. I love movies, all kinds of movies.
3 December 2020 Roger Ebert Class is often invisible in America in the movies, and usually not the subject of the film.
3 December 2020 Jonah Hill I’m really proud of ‘Moneyball.’ To me, it’s about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I’m an old man I’ll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That’s all I can really go for: making movies to please me.
3 December 2020 Zoe Saldana I’m a sci-fi girl. If I can have anything in life, I’d want tons of great science-fiction movies and stories. It’s so progressive, beautiful, and imaginative.
3 December 2020 Tim Heidecker I’ll go to see movies, but I also love being at home on my couch and pausing every 10 minutes to pee.
3 December 2020 Steven Seagal One of the reasons why people – particularly young people – love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.
3 December 2020 Rachel McAdams The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.
3 December 2020 Christopher Walken My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies.
