Film Quotes

For at the hour of death you became a celebrated film star, it is a moment of glory for everyone, when the choral music scales the top notes Picture Quote #1

Every film should have its own world, a logic and feel to it that expands beyond the exact image that the audience is seeing Picture Quote #1

I demand that a film express either the joy of making cinema or the agony of making cinema. I am not at all interested in anything in between Picture Quote #1

Books act like a developing fluid on film. That is, they bring into consciousness what you didn’t know you knew Picture Quote #1

People never explain to you exactly what they think and feel and how their thoughts and feelings work, do they? They don’t have time. Or the right words. But that’s what books do. It’s as though your daily life is a film in the cinema. It can be fun, looking at those pictures. But if you want to know what lies behind the flat screen you have to read a book. That explains it all Picture Quote #1

Phillip is a repository of random snatches of film dialogue and song lyrics. To make room for all of it in his brain, he apparently cleared out all the areas where things like reason and common sense are stored Picture Quote #1

When we travel, we are like a film at the moment of exposure; it is memory that will develop it Picture Quote #1

I try to dig deep into the well of my subconscious. At a certain moment in that process, the lid is opened and very different ideas and visions are liberated. With those I can start making a film. But maybe it’s better that you don’t open that lid completely, because if you release your subconscious it becomes really hard to live a social or family life Picture Quote #1

$The film medium is some sort of magic. I think also it’s a magic that every frame comes and stands still for a fraction of a second and then it darkens. A half part of the time when you see a picture you sit in complete darkness. Isn’t that fascinating? That is magic Picture Quote #1$

Remember: It costs nothing to encourage an artist, and the potential benefits are staggering. A pat on the back to an artist now could one day result in your favorite film, or the cartoon you love to get stoned watching, or the song that saves your life. Discourage an artist, you get absolutely nothing in return, ever Picture Quote #1

Effort is between you, and you, and nobody else. So that team that thinks it’s ready to see you, they think what they’ve seen on film, they ain’t saw what film shows, because every day is a new day. Every moment is a new moment. So now you’ve got to go out and show them that I’m a different creature now, than I was five minutes ago, cause I’m pissed off for greatness. Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic Picture Quote #1

We have to keep in practice like musicians. Besides, there are still potentialities to be realized in color film. To us, it’s just like bringing up a child. You don’t stop after you’ve had it Picture Quote #1

But the action film genre is gonna have to come up with some new bad guys Picture Quote #1

Also the wonderful thing about film, you can see light at the end of the tunnel. You did realize that it is going to come to an end at some stage Picture Quote #1

Everyone says you should get a photo taken of yourself while you’re pregnant. I’ve got a film. It’ll be nice for my daughter, too, to look at one day. She was in it Picture Quote #1

When I wake up in the morning and I turn that film on, it’s like reading a book and it’s exciting. I don’t read books, but if I read books it would be like reading a book Picture Quote #1

Since the recording process is instantaneous, and the nature of the image such that it cannot survive corrective handwork, it is obvious that the finished print must be created in full before the film is exposed Picture Quote #1

Freed from the pressure of haste, the tyranny of film, and now the restraint of clothes, I found myself looking more closely at what went on around me Picture Quote #1

My technicians are my most important tools. Once I establish a rapport with them, then they would understand me in my next film. I wouldn’t have to train anyone new. I give a lot of respect to all my technicians, because I’m a technician too. I wouldn’t be able to convey a feeling if the writer didn’t write it well, and the cameraman didn’t shoot it well Picture Quote #1

What is the point of making the film if the man doesn’t marry the girl? Picture Quote #1

I’m not in a situation where you get a thousand scripts. You want to make a living, you want to put your kids through school. I’d rather do three bad films that pay well than do one good film every three years that doesn’t pay well... To me, if you can get a steady check in this business, you’re doing okay Picture Quote #1

I look at the human sciences as poetic sciences in which there is no objectivity, and I see film as not being objective, and cinema verite as a cinema of lies that depends on the art of telling yourself lies. If you’re a good storyteller then the lie is more true than reality, and if you’re a bad one, the truth is worse than a half lie Picture Quote #1

Like all art forms, film is a media as powerful as weapons of mass destruction; the only difference is that war destroys and film inspires Picture Quote #1

Like a lady who has lost weight and she’s just getting to that point where she can fit into that favourite dress, you get the film down to just about the right cut. You can feel it when it happens Picture Quote #1

Cameras and lenses are simply tools to place our unique vision on film. Concentrate on equipment and you’ll take technically good photographs. Concentrate on seeing the light’s magic colors and your images will stir the soul Picture Quote #1

A big budget studio film is slower, theyve got so much to create around you. Everything is more complicated Picture Quote #1

No matter what, I will always prefer a live performance. Whether it be a play or a musical, or playing music live. As long as it’s live, it’s the best because there’s sort of an immediacy to connection between an audience and a performer, whereas where you do film or television, you’re at the whim of so many different forces Picture Quote #1

Oh, what the hell did I know? I went to the set the first day in full makeup and the director told me to take it off. So I did the film without makeup. I had nothing to do with anything I did. I never understood why I was so famous Picture Quote #1

You have to communicate on a much greater scale. With a camera, you can use the flick of an eye. On stage, a lot of other things are happening that can pull focus or energy. You’re always thinking the same way, but you have to amplify your thoughts with the volume of your speech and the ways you use your whole body to communicate what you’re feeling. It’s a little bit different from film Picture Quote #1
