Film Quotes

I think film and television are really a director’s medium, whereas theatre is the actor’s medium Picture Quote #1

The biggest difference for me is momentum. On a smaller film you get to shoot sometimes four or five scenes a day and you’ve got to do the tight schedule. I think I really feel the luxuries of a big budget film Picture Quote #1

I think ultimately if you have a very high expectation of your audience and you know exactly what it is you’re trying to express through the medium of film, there will always be an audience for you Picture Quote #1

The profession of film director can and should be such a high and precious one; that no man aspiring to it can disregard any knowledge that will make him a better film director or human being Picture Quote #1

I think I enjoy working obviously as a lead, but also you know I feel I’m also a character actor as well, so I enjoy approaching various projects in all sort of capacities. Any film I have been able to do I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Picture Quote #1

I think that’s one of the things that has always put me in kind of an odd niche. It’s that all of my understanding of orchestral music is via film, not via classical music like it’s supposed to be. To me it’s the same, it doesn’t make any difference Picture Quote #1

I would have to say I might do some stuff, but it’s the film that’s appealing. I was raised on film. My musical experience is all via film, it’s not from classical music Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to interpret the film through the director’s head, but it all comes out through me. So, a composer is kind of like a psychic medium Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to get a film, you know, you need a very special film to be able to get that experimental. But, I would love to see that happen. I would love the opportunity to be more experimental than I am Picture Quote #1

So, it becomes an exercise in futility if you write something that does not express the film as the director wishes. It’s still their ball game. It’s their show. I think any successful composer learns how to dance around the director’s impulses Picture Quote #1

I think as an actor you’re lucky to have any film take on a life of its own long after it’s left the theater Picture Quote #1

I watch old school film so that I can learn so much that I just sort of miss all the new stuff Picture Quote #1

You would be surprised of films that people just don’t see. You know what I mean? I’m always working and I’m a film buff but I’m an old school film buff Picture Quote #1

You make a film and you don’t know who it’s going to appeal to Picture Quote #1

I can’t remember what the last film I saw was, as I can’t smoke or drink in cinemas Picture Quote #1

No critic writing about a film could say more than the film itself, although they do their best to make us think the oppposite Picture Quote #1

And although I’ve been very fortunate in the film work that’s come my way, I need to get back to the stage. If I’m away for a maximum of two years, I feel something’s wrong Picture Quote #1

I never studied anything about film technique in school. Eventually, I realized that cinema and theater are not so different: from the gut to the heart to the head of a character is the same journey for both Picture Quote #1

If I had a gun to my head and I had to choose between theater and film I’d choose theater Picture Quote #1

In the studio system, things are expected of a film. By the first, second, third act, there’s a generic language that comes out of the more commercial system Picture Quote #1

I’ve held onto little musical sketches that I thought could be useful, and the more time that I spend doing them for each film, then the more I have to draw on Picture Quote #1

When I do the music, I make the musicians listen to what’s happening in the film. That way they treat the dialogue as if it was a singer Picture Quote #1

The bosses of our mass media, press, radio, film and television, succeed in their aim of taking our minds off disaster. Thus, the distraction they offer demands the antidote of maximum concentration on disaster Picture Quote #1

I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It’s a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it’s a great date or something that’s just hugely romantic Picture Quote #1

Live television drama was like live theater, because you moved without thinking about the camera. It followed you around. In film you have to be more aware of what the camera is doing Picture Quote #1

I can’t frankly see much difference in the film industry at all. The only difference might be that they don’t take as much time as they used to. For example, they’ll do in one day what we used to take a week to do Picture Quote #1

I had travelled pretty widely around the world even before then, so I knew where to go to film wildlife Picture Quote #1

It’s hard when you’re doing a film based on a true story to really figure out what all those relationships were Picture Quote #1

I mean, this whole digital revolution is really eroding the director’s importance on a movie because, number one, just from a practical standpoint, with floppy disks and the ability to put all of the film onto a disk, more people have access to the movie Picture Quote #1

I tend to be attracted to characters who are up against a wall with very few alternatives. And the film then becomes an examination of how they cope with very few options. And that’s, I guess, what interests me in terms of human behavior Picture Quote #1
