Film Quotes

Many of the shows I danced in don’t exist on film, but they do exist in the memories of those who were in the theater for that single moment in time. And nothing can replace that Picture Quote #1

My goal is to keep making films and grow as a film maker; that’s always my goal Picture Quote #1

I just like the fact I can make a film which might give comfort to some people who think they are the only crazy person in the world and suddenly they see there are two crazy people in the world Picture Quote #1

A film is not done by one person. It’s done by a lot of people. I love this whole collaborative aspect. When it works well, you end up with something better than any of us started out to do Picture Quote #1

The root of any film project for me is this inner need to express something. What nurtures this root and makes it grow into a tree is the script. What makes the tree bear flowers and fruit is the directing Picture Quote #1

Whatever’s inside making me what I am, it’s like film. Film only works in the dark. Tear it all open and let in the light and you kill it Picture Quote #1

I’ve noticed that the people who started on film still have the ability to see the person in front of them. Whereas for a lot of photographers who have only ever worked in digital, the relationship between the photographer and the person who they’re taking a picture of sort of doesn’t exist anymore. They’re looking at a computer screen as opposed to the person Picture Quote #1

Good films are not made by accident, nor is good photography. You can have good things happen, on occasion, by accident that can be applied at that moment in a film, but your craft isn’t structured around such things, except in beer commercials Picture Quote #1

That’s the miracle of telling a story in film: You can express something inside someone’s mind Picture Quote #1

In film, there are two ways of including human beings. One is depicting human beings. Another is to create a film form which, in itself, has all the qualities of being human: tenderness, observation, fear, relaxation, the sense of stepping into the world and pulling back, expansion, contraction, changing, softening, tenderness of heart. The first is a form of theater and the latter is a form of poetry Picture Quote #1

Rather, it is the opening or the interruption that allows us to experience what is hidden, and to accept with our hearts our given situation. When film does this, when it subverts our absorption in the temporal and reveals the depths of our own reality, it opens us to a fuller sense of ourselves and our world. It is alive as a devotional form Picture Quote #1

I talk to my parents everyday and every move that I make, every endorsement that I do, every film that I do and my everyday activities are all discussed with them Picture Quote #1

I think that directing is the ultimate martyred task of filmmaking, that it has nobility to it. It takes three years to make a film, for the most part. I think it requires the attentiveness of a mother hen Picture Quote #1

I pierced one nipple. Not both. Just one. She has it in the books and I wanted to get as many of the piercings as I could, and I spent so much time on this film naked, and I just had to be really comfortable with that right away... I’m gonna keep it for now. I don’t want to have to repierce that should we do the other two films Picture Quote #1

I’m not looking for a challenge, necessarily. I’m looking to make a really great film Picture Quote #1

If you’re not bruised up, then you’re not doing an action film in a real way Picture Quote #1

My ideal role would be the lead in a film with a director that I really appreciate and admire Picture Quote #1

Art, a book, a painting, a song, can definitely inspire change, whether it’s a small change or a big change but you know there’s novels I’ve read or a scene in a film that I’ve seen where I definitely inspired something and made a change or addressed an issue in my life or done something cliche like make a phone call Picture Quote #1

In the theatre you can change things ever so slightly; it’s an organic thing. Whereas in film you only have that chance on the day, and you have no control over it at all Picture Quote #1

I’m willing to look my own nightmare on film, but if it endangers my life, then I’m willing to put my life before movies Picture Quote #1

We’re in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything, and that’s what’s new about television and film these days Picture Quote #1

If a film isn’t really talking about who we are and what our psychologies are, then we’re probably not that interested in it, actually Picture Quote #1

The trade magazine and all was banned in my house. The first time I read a film magazine was when I was 18 Picture Quote #1

There’s the argument that you can relate to someone who’s completely unrelatable. In the way that a director shows you his imagination on a film, then I get to show you my imagination in a big dumb character Picture Quote #1

I don’t think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you’re an exhibitionist, which I’m certainly not Picture Quote #1

There’s such a sense of theatre in getting glammed up; it’s like putting on a play or short film Picture Quote #1

I always sort of create practical problems so that I don’t have to see a film I’ve just done. I’m too vulnerable, too fragile. People see your work, and there’s nothing you can do. You’re completely exposed Picture Quote #1

In voiceover, all you have to worry about is your voice and practicing with your voice and then being able to understand what the situation and whatnot is happening. And you have endless amounts of film to perfect the character Picture Quote #1

I have a bee in my bonnet as to how few black historical figures one sees on film; incredible stories, stories from which we are living the legacy and which just don’t get made Picture Quote #1

The secrecy thing has gotten to be more and more prevalent in films, and maybe that’s good. It’s nice to go see a film and not know anything about it. Sometimes I feel like we know too much about films Picture Quote #1
