3 December 2020 Nicolas Cage I may be alone in this, but I do sense the power of film, in that movies have the ability to literally change people’s minds. That’s pretty powerful stuff when you consider that.
3 December 2020 Scott Caan The reason I started writing movies was because I kept getting parts that I just kind of stepped into. I didn’t have to do a lot of work and I ended up getting sort of bored.
3 December 2020 Ethan Hawke Right now, if you’re interested in being a dramatic actor, they’re not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.
3 December 2020 Mary-Kate Olsen I usually do get the tomboy parts in the movies, which is kind of like me, but not totally. I like to shop as much as Ashley, but she is a little more of a girlie-girl than me.
3 December 2020 Bill Vaughan I’m an actor. And I guess I’ve done so many movies I’ve achieved some high visibility. But a star? I guess I still think of myself as kind of a worker ant.
3 December 2020 Natalie Wood I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.
3 December 2020 Christopher Walken When videotape came so a lot of movies that I do have a kind of afterlife in video. Things where movies that I do would come and go they still come and go but you can go rent them and see them on TV.
3 December 2020 John Malkovich I like to direct movies, but I don’t like to goof around for eight years talking about it.
3 December 2020 Kristen Stewart It’s a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do – you’re proud of it – and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable.
3 December 2020 Philip Seymour Hoffman You have to understand that crew members make movies so they’re seeing a lot of actors all the time in their career acting.
3 December 2020 Jodie Foster I’ve always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.
3 December 2020 Spike Lee A lot of times you get credit for stuff in your movies you didn’t intend to be there.
3 December 2020 Michael Clarke Duncan I really don’t have favorites I’m just a fan of movies, period.
3 December 2020 Nicolas Cage I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to, but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.
3 December 2020 Zoe Kazan I grew up in L.A., and I don’t think I’ve seen L.A. onscreen in a way that felt real to me. There are definitely movies, but they are few and far between.
3 December 2020 Morgan Freeman People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.
3 December 2020 Michael J. Fox I worked very hard on those movies but there was some creative connection that wasn’t being made.
3 December 2020 Johnny Depp Over the years all these vampire movies have come out and nobody looks like a vampire anymore.
3 December 2020 Kristen Wiig I don’t rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies, the less I rehearse, the better I am.
3 December 2020 Colin Quinn I’m always working on stuff. But they never materialize. I’m always working on movies and TV shows.
3 December 2020 Joan Didion Before I’d written movies, I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers – when you’ve got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people’s ability to do that.
3 December 2020 Joseph Gordon-Levitt The movies I watch and the music I listen to and the books I read – those are important to me. It’s very important to me, and I don’t know what I would do without those things.
3 December 2020 Christopher Nolan I think there’s a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I’ve felt it.
3 December 2020 Sam Mendes I don’t think of it as a competition – which might surprise you, given the way movies are reported constantly.
