3 December 2020 David Cronenberg The more unique your film is and unusual it is and difficult it is, the harder it is to get it financed. That’s why a lot of good filmmakers are doing television. They do HBO movies.
3 December 2020 Federico Fellini Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
3 December 2020 Kristen Stewart I like being in movies that have a great story. I’m not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It’s a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.
3 December 2020 John Malkovich You can’t work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting.
3 December 2020 Ashley Tisdale I can’t watch scary movies right now, because living on my own, it kind of freaks me out.
3 December 2020 Philip Seymour Hoffman There are characters in movies who I call ‘film characters.’ They don’t exist in real life. They exist to play out a scenario. They can be in fantastic films, but they are not real characters what happens to them is not lifelike.
3 December 2020 Mike Myers Comedy. It was just huge in my house. Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness, Monty Python and all those James Bond movies were highly regarded.
3 December 2020 Kristen Stewart I don’t want to make movies for kids, and I don’t want to make movies for adults either.
3 December 2020 Mary Pickford Adding sound to movies would be like putting lipstick on the Venus de Milo.
3 December 2020 Sharon Stone I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them – the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.
3 December 2020 Jon Landau It didn’t matter that Charlie Chaplin may not have been a great director or a great anything else. He made great movies.
3 December 2020 Bruce Springsteen But then I go through long periods where I don’t listen to things, usually when I’m working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find.
3 December 2020 Vera Farmiga There really are three types of ‘religious’ movies: the ones that make fun of it, the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.
3 December 2020 Francis Ford Coppola When newspapers started to publish the box office scores of movies, I was horrified. Those results are totally fake because they never include the promotion budget.
3 December 2020 Jason Reitman Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. You don’t think of it as just movies, but as a life.
3 December 2020 Harvey Weinstein Last year, when ‘Black Swan,’ ‘True Grit’ and ‘King’s Speech’ all grossed over $100 million, it gave studios and independent financiers the confidence to make daring movies and not do the same old you-know-what.
3 December 2020 Laurell K. Hamilton I think that my vampires in general were influenced by my being allowed to watch the Hammer vampire films. Vampire Circus, also shown as Circus of Fear, was one of those movies.
3 December 2020 Marco Rubio You know those movies where the people in the audience are screaming, ‘Don’t go in that door!’ because you know the killer is there? Well, it is the same thing with this debt. We know how this ends.
3 December 2020 Samuel Goldwyn Give me a couple of years, and I’ll make that actress an overnight success.
3 December 2020 Dick Wolf It was like in Samoa when they’d put up a movie screen on the beach and show movies and the locals would run behind the sheet to see where the people went. It was pretty grim.
3 December 2020 Ivan Reitman My sense is, I think it’s okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.
3 December 2020 Kevin Costner There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don’t think are good for movies. They’re trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.
3 December 2020 Morgan Freeman Not only do I have to live, right, I have to get some cash for my troubles – it’s a scary thing, and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.
3 December 2020 Francis Ford Coppola I’m no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf, I can.
3 December 2020 Marc Andreessen More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services – from movies to agriculture to national defense.
3 December 2020 Juliette Binoche Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life.
