Film Quotes

I was writing short films and I was going through this really, really, really terrible end of a relationship that I didn’t want to be going through. It was too much for me to process and all of a sudden I had this idea for my first feature film and I knew right away I had to start writing it Picture Quote #1

Every actor who has done an action film has a little tiny scar somewhere from that Picture Quote #1

There’s just certain things you don’t think about to enjoy a film. Bullets in space are one of them Picture Quote #1

It slightly depends on your perspective, sort of how you look at these things, but when I sit down to write a script, I’m not planning to write a script; I’m planning to make a film, and so I only see the script as being just a step there Picture Quote #1

As soon as anybody puts anything on film, it automatically has a point of view, and it’s somebody else’s point of view, and it’s impossible for it to be yours Picture Quote #1

You would think, in an ideal world, that if you were in a really good film and did a really good job, whether it was a big film or not, you would get hired a lot; but that is not my experience Picture Quote #1

I think I veered towards filmmaking because there’s more of a sense of control in it. You’re not waiting to be picked. That said, in film school I acted in probably 6,000 student films because no other filmmakers knew anyone who wanted to act. It was all a big beautiful snake eating its tail, progressing along the way Picture Quote #1

I was lucky enough to get a very good agent at the age of 15, and got my first film when I was 16, so it’s been rolling on since then Picture Quote #1

I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about Picture Quote #1

I only shoot on film. I like the quality, the grain and the imperfections. It offers me something much more rewarding than any digital camera can give me. I believe the extra expense is worth it Picture Quote #1

I grew up on film sets but more around the process of making films. I saw a lot of the editing process and the writing process, which takes years. That really affected me growing up, that side of it Picture Quote #1

I definitely am drawn to strong females who are successful, smart women because I am a woman like that. I think it’s important to portray those kinds of women on film and television. Especially as a black woman, I think it’s important Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you do a film because the script is amazing, sometimes you do it because you get to work with amazing people, and sometimes you do a film because they pay you money Picture Quote #1

Often times, music is used to evoke an emotion and it’s become a cliche, so I don’t want to do that, and actually what I do, is that emotional intensity that has developed throughout the film, I allow it to get released by having that music at the end with the credits Picture Quote #1

A film causes me so many worries and such a lot of reactions that I have to love it in order to get over it and past it Picture Quote #1

When I make a film, I never stop uncovering mysteries, making discoveries. When I’m writing, filming, editing, even doing promotional work, I discover new things about the film, about myself, and about others. That is what I’m subconsciously looking for when shooting a film: to glimpse the enigmas of life, even if I don’t resolve them, but at least to uncover them. Cinema is curiosity in the most intense meaning of the word Picture Quote #1

I think feature film can be quite conservative, because you have to now get audiences to come out, and it’s quite a hard thing to do. Of course, television can be conservative too Picture Quote #1

There is no schedule in the film industry. It’s not like you have a 9 to 5 job every day Picture Quote #1

The director is the only person on the set who has seen the film. Your job as a director is to show up every day and know where everything will fit into the film Picture Quote #1

If I was not allowed to mention that I was in the film industry, I could go six months without getting a kiss Picture Quote #1

When you see a finished film, it’s very rare that it exceeds your expectations Picture Quote #1

Acting gives you cosmic permission to take a trip in movies that lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until the film is finished Picture Quote #1

Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they’re all lawyers. I’m in the family business Picture Quote #1

I do miss sometimes being onstage, because when I do film and television, it’s usually so brief and funny Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I love acting, every job is a dream job when you’re an actor. I’d like to do eventually more film work and to collaborate with the best actors and directors in film Picture Quote #1

When I’m doing theatre, I feel like my life’s on hold. Even though you might go out for a coffee, or go and see a film, your brain is still there, pulling you back to it Picture Quote #1

I had a really great experience so far with film acting. And most experiences from most actors, I’ve heard, are not like this. But I want a career that has many disciplines and many options Picture Quote #1

One of the biggest challenges in my job is letting go of the movie once you go home at night, and knowing you can’t do anything to your performance once you’ve laid it on film Picture Quote #1

I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn’t go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct Picture Quote #1

They say that theater is the actor’s medium, television is the writer’s medium and film is the director’s medium, and it’s really true Picture Quote #1
