Film Quotes

I get quite fed up being on a film set day after day, six days a week. It can get to be a grind Picture Quote #1

You know, honestly, acting in film is remarkably independent. You’re doing your thing and someone else is doing their thing Picture Quote #1

I’m just looking for the best story being told by the best people and the best part that I can find. If those things add up, I want to be a part of it whether it’s a studio film or, more likely in that instance, an independent film Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of dopes in life, and in film school. The interesting people are usually easy to find Picture Quote #1

I believe that independent film making is the last frontier of creative expression available. So I’m always willing to lend a helping hand to a young film maker who’s just getting into the business Picture Quote #1

I feel like people want there to be this mystery between film and theater, but I just kind of went where I got jobs, you know? Picture Quote #1

I get really excited every time there’s a female character who is really strong because a lot of females in film are really soft Picture Quote #1

Movie stars and singers never fully pass away because their images are replayed on film and recordings, over and over Picture Quote #1

There’s something magical still about it when I get in a darkroom, and you’ve shot a roll of film and you develop it and you look at your negatives, and there’s, like, imagery there. That always stuns me Picture Quote #1

It’s good to be busy on a film set because there is a lot of sitting around, so if you’ve got two roles to play at one time, then that’s great to do Picture Quote #1

People think I’m against critics because they are negative to my work. That’s not what bothers me. What bothers me is they didn’t see the work. I have seen critics print stuff about stuff I cut out of the film before we ran it. So don’t tell me about critics Picture Quote #1

Working on a film, the setup for an action sequence takes a long time, and we need to shoot the scene many times to get different angles Picture Quote #1

If you’re fighting with your boyfriend, you can go to the movies and cry it out and leave happy because the ending of the film is happy Picture Quote #1

Film is endlessly just beyond your reach. I think that’s what I love so much about it Picture Quote #1

I pretty much believe that a film is a film and when an audience watches a film, they finish it Picture Quote #1

I love film, but it’s bringing me away from music. Singing is what I’m probably most passionate about Picture Quote #1

There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they’re really very different. I feel like they’re just two different ways to channel my creativity Picture Quote #1

I can honestly say I’ve never chosen a film because where it’s shot is convenient Picture Quote #1

If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you’re turning the story into a totally different thing; the narrative of film is different from that of a book Picture Quote #1

Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film, and that’s a very sad thing. It’s film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture, and that’s everywhere around the world Picture Quote #1

In every film, whether it’s a fictional character or not, you create an idea of the character and for me I always do a bad impersonation to start with Picture Quote #1

Film allows me to ask some really big questions with the time to explore them deeply. I love the form Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, I can sit through the worst horror film ever made but even a quite good romantic comedy can drive me nuts Picture Quote #1

And as a director, you make 1,000 decisions a day, mostly binary decisions: yes or no, this one or that one, the red one or the blue one, faster or slower. And it’s the culmination of those decisions that define the tone of the film and whether or not it moves people Picture Quote #1

I laugh a lot in horror films. If I’m scared in a horror film, I try to think about what’s scaring me... particularly, if it’s a bad movie, but something they’re doing still works. It’s the same way I look at comedy. I’ve always had an intellectual view of comedy, and what makes people laugh, and how does it work Picture Quote #1

I remember when I was like 19 years old and I started a desk calendar company to pay for my first short film, just so I could say one day that my daddy didn’t pay for my first short film. And I really established myself in the film festival world Picture Quote #1

I’m really specific in the way that I shoot. I’ve always had a very good sense of what I need in the editing room. I used to shoot in a way that drew more attention to the camera and I’ve tried, in each film, to draw less and less attention to the camera. I think when you pay attention to the shots, you’re aware of the fact that there’s a director Picture Quote #1

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that’s all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It’s a weird thing that happens when you’re an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people’s hopes or something Picture Quote #1
