Film Quotes

I started to shortcircuit because I had high aspirations for the film. I never told anybody that Picture Quote #1

One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it Picture Quote #1

People in independent film have a passion; they’re not in it for the money Picture Quote #1

You learn real early to make a film and then duck, and basically that’s how I go about it Picture Quote #1

It perhaps has a chance, a commercial chance, this film. It’s funny, it’s charming, the idea is original, it’s unusual and it makes fun of the movie industry in a way that it needs to be poked fun at Picture Quote #1

You try to get out there and live. I’ve always had good friends who’ve been very supportive and help make me feel good and grounded because I’ve never felt attached to the film industry Picture Quote #1

Well that’s the point: People don’t normally take away things from films anymore. You go and see a $100 million film, half an hour later, your biggest concern is what are you going to be eating Picture Quote #1

I avoided nudity unless a film couldnt be told without those scenes. If you look at my films, few of them have that element, yet nudity and male fantasies have become emblematic of my work Picture Quote #1

You seldom get that in film where you’re lucky if you get any say at all in the final cut Picture Quote #1

I know it’s good when I see a smaller film get recognized because it means more publicity for them. When you start producing and directing the movies become a little more like your children Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people say to you that you should try to be in a bigger film, but it’s the way it pans out Picture Quote #1

You’re making a movie, not a documentary. If you made a film like the historians would like you to make, you’re not going to go and see it. I’d rather see paint dry Picture Quote #1

Getting your screenplay right is the most important thing you’ll ever do on your film Picture Quote #1

I think it’s just a lot more pressure to make the scenes work when you’re doing a film, because when you’re doing a series you feel like, I have so many scenes, so many episodes, so if I don’t get it exactly right this time, I have another scene later. You feel less pressure Picture Quote #1

I don’t think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself Picture Quote #1

Film acting is really the trick of doing moments. You rarely do a take that lasts more than 20 seconds. You really earn your spurs acting onstage. I needed to do that for myself. I would hate to say at the end of everything that I never did a stage play Picture Quote #1

It was one of the marvellous feelings of the film, having the music going in your head while doing scenes Picture Quote #1

Casting a film, you can have the greatest actors in a film and it doesn’t work. It’s a combination of all of the elements Picture Quote #1

Norwegian kids, they grow up well educated in film. So they have a lot of good directors there Picture Quote #1

And I’m hoping that over the next 20, 50 years, whatever, the mystique of television and film and all that will diminish somewhat, and people will leave us alone to get on with our jobs Picture Quote #1

I have to say that as an actor, I really look for the role. I’m not really looking to see if it’s for television or film, because there are highly talented people in both mediums Picture Quote #1

I run upright mostly when I see daylight, so if you watch film you’ll see I don’t get hit in the chest much Picture Quote #1

I would love for film to go back to those days where you had to be able to do everything just to get by Picture Quote #1

I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing Picture Quote #1

If you’re doing a drama that has some comedic elements you can’t forget that it’s primarily a very serious film that has some light relief Picture Quote #1

Film scores are often based on short themes, and it helps if youve got some way of developing these themes and making them sometimes last 4 minutes and sometimes last 40 seconds. One ends up doing it subconsciously Picture Quote #1

You really have to soak up the culture of the people to get it right. If you’re making a fiction film, it’s entertainment, but you want it to be as real as possible Picture Quote #1

As with sound, images are subjective. You and I may not see the same color red as red, but we will probably agree that the image on the screen is a digital image or film image, based on contrast, bit depth, and refresh rate Picture Quote #1

Once the image was in the digital environment, one of the problems was, we had no means to reproduce the color spectrum, grey scale, and contrast that film produces, without converting the digital file to film, evaluating it, then going back and changing the digital image Picture Quote #1

I did a film once that I was killed in. It was a painful, horrifying day. It was a wonderful day from the standpoint of acting, but I was a wreck otherwise Picture Quote #1
