3 December 2020 Julie Taymor But I don’t think there has ever been anything written on the nature of violent man as deep and as thorough as Shakespeare’s Titus. I think it puts all modern movies and modern exploitations of violence to shame.
3 December 2020 Jack Black Back in the ’70s, like one of my favorite movies ever was ‘The Bad News Bears’, and that was a kids’ movie, but I don’t think of it that way. I think of it as just a great movie because Walter Matthau was so funny and so harsh with those kids.
3 December 2020 Henry Rollins So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I’m on the set, but I don’t take myself seriously as an actor.
3 December 2020 Diablo Cody I don’t know why, but I’ve always been a sucker for roller coasters in movies.
3 December 2020 Carol Burnett My grandmother and I saw an average of eight movies a week, double features, second run.
3 December 2020 Hulk Hogan I quit doing the movies because the wrestling was going so good and was so on fire during the ’80s and ’90s, but I was getting all these movie scripts.
3 December 2020 Natalie Portman Where I live, nobody who’s fourteen is having sex and doing major drugs. And I think if you see it in the movies, you may be influenced by it. I think it’s so important to preserve your innocence.
3 December 2020 Dennis Quaid Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it’s not all that important to me anymore.
3 December 2020 Famke Janssen I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don’t sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don’t. There’s always a good reason for doing something.
3 December 2020 Tim Burton I never really got nightmares from movies. In fact, I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared, but I never was.
3 December 2020 Sam Mendes I think movies are a director’s medium in the end. Theater is the actor’s medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance.
3 December 2020 Barbara Ehrenreich The one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable, like taking the kids to movies and theme parks.
3 December 2020 Clive Owen A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you’ve got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired, you don’t have that hunger.
3 December 2020 Jonah Hill I just like to act and write and produce. To me, making movies is the ultimate goal.
3 December 2020 Bradley Cooper If you look at anybody who’s had along career, if you look at the choices they’ve made – even if the movies haven’t worked – they’ve always worked with great filmmakers.
3 December 2020 Jonah Hill Once you make a movie like ‘Superbad,’ when it’s popular and you’re the lead, you get offered all kinds of things and there’s a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture.
3 December 2020 Kristen Wiig When you’re on your deathbed, you probably aren’t counting the movies you’ve made.
3 December 2020 Charlie Kaufman I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.
3 December 2020 Carla Gugino It is odd there are many movies with many men. But generally movies have one woman, or maybe the older woman and the younger girl.
3 December 2020 Ewan McGregor The other two things are… well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better.
3 December 2020 Eric Bana The movies people don’t talk about or remember after six months’ time don’t really matter.
3 December 2020 Christian Bale In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they’ll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron.
3 December 2020 Liam Neeson I had done some flimflam movies, but I didn’t understand what being an actor meant anymore.
3 December 2020 Daniel Craig You know, I think the film business is its own worst enemy because it sells movies on DVD footage and ‘behind the scenes,’ and now it’s a real struggle trying to keep storylines and plotlines a secret.
3 December 2020 Jerry Bruckheimer I don’t make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.
