3 December 2020 Mark Wahlberg James Cagney, Steve McQueen, I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.
3 December 2020 Carter Burwell John Barry was my hero when I was about 13. His scores to the James Bond movies were the scores of my life back then.
3 December 2020 Emily Mortimer I’m just happy to be a film where for once I don’t have to worry about my hair, because my managers are always complaining about my hair looking depressing in my movies. Which is true. I mean, it’s true.
3 December 2020 Josh Radnor I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.
3 December 2020 Halle Berry And you also have to do movies that are about commerce because that’s what is required of the industry today.
3 December 2020 Ellen Barkin The way Hollywood portrays mothers – you’re either all good and saint-like, or you’re all bad. And I think the real honesty of motherhood is not given a voice in movies. I miss that as an audience member.
3 December 2020 Diane Kruger I don’t make movies thinking: ‘Oh, this is going to be a huge box-office hit.’
3 December 2020 Javier Bardem Some quality performances and movies have a chance to be rewarded, but it’s not like it’s a bible.
3 December 2020 Gary Oldman I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can’t really move from it: it’s on buses, in stores, it’s everywhere. One of my kids has read the books the other two are too small but they like the movies.
3 December 2020 Louis C. K. I grew up watching all these crazy movies, European movies and stuff, and I guess that I always laughed at things that were a little more offbeat.
3 December 2020 John Cusack I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies really twisted.
3 December 2020 Julie Bowen Television is where the best work for women is right now. I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
3 December 2020 Gary Ross Family entertainment is really very necessary in our culture. Look how profitable they are. It’s almost not discretionary. You need to take your family to the movies.
3 December 2020 Jonah Hill I love it, man I’m 23 years old and I’m lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and can’t believe it’s happening.
3 December 2020 Jason Reitman There are only so many movies you can direct. And yet there are movies that I want to make sure make it to the screen in as honest a way as possible.
3 December 2020 Josh Hutcherson In all honesty I think that I’ve had a very normal life, even though I’ve been making movies since I was 9.
3 December 2020 Oliver Stone Coming Home had been made before and Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter, different kinds of movies.
3 December 2020 J. J. Abrams I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn’t have to be a creature.
3 December 2020 David Lynch Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way.
3 December 2020 Jennifer Lopez I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That’s what my life was.
3 December 2020 Corey Feldman As a kid, I liked the ‘Halloween’ movies and ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ and all that kind of stuff. But as an adult, I really don’t watch much horror, to be honest.
3 December 2020 Richard Russo Movies have to handle time very efficiently. They’re about stringing scenes together in the present. Novels aren’t necessarily about that.
3 December 2020 Jackie Chan When I got depressed, I watched Bruce Lee movies. I learned everything from Bruce Lee.
3 December 2020 Samuel L. Jackson All movies aren’t fun some are hard work. You try to do something and convey a set of emotions that have to do with some real life kind of stuff.
3 December 2020 Arnold Schwarzenegger I was striving to be the most muscular man, and it got me into the movies. It got me everything that I have.
3 December 2020 Charles Kuralt When I was a little boy I used to borrow my father’s hat, and make a press card to stick in the hat band. That was the way reporters were always portrayed in the movies.
3 December 2020 Lynda Barry For horror movies, color is reassuring because, at least in older films, it adds to the fakey-ness.
