Film Quotes

I have made a film about jazz that tries to look through jazz to see what it tells us about who we are as a people. I think that jazz is a spectacularly accurate model of democracy and a kind of look into our redemptive future possibilities Picture Quote #1

I think my expectations for myself are much more severe and much more direct. You can’t work on a film for six years without being your own toughest critic. So you can’t really be distracted by the expectations based on your previous performance Picture Quote #1

When a documentary filmmaker, working in the style that I do, suggests that there has been a shooting ratio of 40 hours to every one hour of finished film, that doesn’t mean that the other 39 are bad Picture Quote #1

To me, it’s a very moral film. If my son were a teenager now, I would drag him to see it Picture Quote #1

I don’t generally find myself listening to the music of a film unless there’s something awfully wrong with it Picture Quote #1

I did this film for less money than it costs to stay in this hotel. We shot it in 20 days. We couldn’t screw up takes for fun because we didn’t have enough film Picture Quote #1

If you wait until the right time to have a child you’ll die childless, and I think film making is very much the same thing. You just have to take the plunge and just start shooting something even if it’s bad Picture Quote #1

I’m just one of those people that if I sit down to watch a horror film, I put my hands over my face and I cry a lot and I don’t see half of the film because I’m too upset Picture Quote #1

Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself Picture Quote #1

And I’m auditioning right now for a movie, and then I have a script that I’m reading right now for a horror film, and I’m meeting for a couple of television shows that I just had yesterday, and pretty much was offered one of them Picture Quote #1

If you do two versions of a film, they should be identical. With the same frames and settings Picture Quote #1

I think the wonderful thing about doing theater is that it’s more of an actor’s medium. I think that film is more of a director’s medium. You can’t edit something out on stage. It’s there Picture Quote #1

If you stick with a vision, it might not all work, but some of it will be absolute genius. To me, 15 minutes worth of absolute genius in a film is so much better than two hours of mediocrity. I would rather pay to see something different like that Picture Quote #1

I’m a big fan of being scared I like being scared. I like being involved in a film that will make audiences scared, that intrigues me Picture Quote #1

I wanted to make a film about stupid people that was very vulgar and deeply stupid. From that moment on I can hardly be reproached for making a film that is about stupid people Picture Quote #1

Movie distribution may very well have migrated fully to digital form by then, making a huge dent in the need to print film and physically distribute content Picture Quote #1

I like making black and white films in natural surroundings, but I much prefer shooting a color film inside a studio where the colors are easier to control Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been a part of a film before that offers such a platform into real issues, that raises social awareness and has the potential to change things Picture Quote #1

It’s great to be in a film that’s able to have people really want to become socially conscious, to walk out of the theatre and want to do something Picture Quote #1

When on the set of a film, you have to play natural for entire scenes in a very unnatural environment. You have to express emotions and interact with other actors and also use your voice Picture Quote #1

When you are modelling, you are creating a picture, a still life, perhaps something like a silent film. You convey emotion but you are only using your body Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve done more recording in the past 10 years than most people, but it’s all been directed toward film composing and soundtracks. Just the same, it’s been great Picture Quote #1

Usually, when I do a soundtrack, the music from the movie doesn’t have anything to do with me personally. It’s music to enhance to the film. My own stuff is more introspective and about what’s on going in my head Picture Quote #1

You might have a favorite book or film, but you can only watch or read it so many times before you have to let it sit and then go back and realize it’s your favorite still. At some point everything gets a little stale and you have to step away from it Picture Quote #1

It has nothing to do with commercial success. You cannot calculate in your head how to put the mosaic together to make a commercial film: that’s out of the question Picture Quote #1

Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic Picture Quote #1

The structural thinking I use in the concert hall is unnecessary to most film projects, and most film composers make better use of the enormous range of pop and other materials and techniques required of them than I probably would, faced with the same challenge Picture Quote #1

One of the worst things you can do is have a limited budget and try to do some big looking film. That’s when you end up with very bad work Picture Quote #1

One person doesn’t have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn’t do well Picture Quote #1

The film business is absurd. Stars don’t last very long. It’s much more interesting to be a proper actor Picture Quote #1
