Film Quotes

I never thought I’d be one of those old hams who favours theatre over everything, but I’m getting that way. Telly and film seemed more fun when I was younger; turning left on planes and washing up in nice places. But there are things that you only learn in theatre Picture Quote #1

Any film I’ve made, I’ve only really begun to understand in the cutting room. That’s when the story shows itself to you, like a wreck coming out of the sea Picture Quote #1

I think there are certain technical things about acting that change between working in film and television. Everything definitely slows down and we have more time in film Picture Quote #1

I think graphic novels are closer to prose than film, which is a really different form Picture Quote #1

It’s easy in a novel to be completely unambiguous about the relationship between animal and daemon simply by stating it outright; whereas you get very few opportunities to do this in an elegant way in a film Picture Quote #1

Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new Picture Quote #1

Generally, I’ve never known quite how to fit in in civilian life, but on set, making a film, I know exactly where to go, how to behave and how I fit Picture Quote #1

I like acting, but I like filmmaking better. I went to film school. I want to make films Picture Quote #1

When I show a film at a festival, I am showing myself. Everything is at stake for me Picture Quote #1

I’m working in a form of cinema that can be described, and has been described, as a diaristic form of cinema. In other words, with material from my own life. I walk through life with my camera, and occasionally I film. I never think about scripts, never think about films, making films Picture Quote #1

A book is actually a place, a place where we, as adults, still have the chance to engage in active imagining, translating word to image, connecting these images to memories, dreams, and larger ideas. Television, film, even the stage play, have already been imagined for us, but the book, in whatever form we choose to interact with it, forces us to complete it Picture Quote #1

I have never been sorry to see my sets being struck, provided they are well photographed. They’re not works of art but part of making a film Picture Quote #1

What you learn when you direct a film, even more so than as a producer, it’s a marriage. It’s like a relationship with that film so you’ve got to make sure that it’s really something that you want to live with for three years or however long it is. So I haven’t found the right thing to marry yet Picture Quote #1

Film is a window to the real world but a lie that makes you believe the unbelievable Picture Quote #1

It’s a matter of pride to me to get the film done fast, to get it done well. I understand the need for compromise. There is no such thing as a perfect shot, a perfect film. The purpose of film is not to make a monument to oneself Picture Quote #1

You make a film you feel is as real as possible and hope people react as though it were real Picture Quote #1

If I were to do a musical, I think I would rather make a film musical Picture Quote #1

I take care to only teach courses about fiction film. I believe that this balances and broadens my documentary work Picture Quote #1

When you’re making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done Picture Quote #1

I love theatre. It’s far more satisfying than film. Sometimes there’s a collective sigh from the audience, or it’s so quiet you can hear a pin drop. I couldn’t believe how easy acting was when there’s an audience; after a few previews I almost couldn’t do it without one Picture Quote #1

Cinema is gambling. It is better to gamble on a unique film even if it seems like suicide Picture Quote #1

I’ve gotten a lot more comfortable with the audition process, but there’s something that really turned me off initially when I was younger, to auditioning. The idea that I couldn’t get to the person that was actually making the film really frustrated me Picture Quote #1

Most theater methodology is predicated on the idea of repeated actions. That’s what you work toward. Having the actor repeat the same moment eight times a week. In a film, it’s getting that one moment right Picture Quote #1

The truth of the matter is, every film is imperfect. It’s the nature of the beast. One of the things that people ask me all the time is, what’s the difference between theater and film, and one of the biggest differences is, in the theater you always get another go Picture Quote #1

With film, it’s all about the actor being able to feel the things that the character’s feeling. It must do some strange things to your mind. Music I find much easier because you’re being honest about where you are as a person Picture Quote #1

Women have to take more control of their careers. They can’t just wait to be cast in a film Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my sisters and I would always talk stories. One of my frustrations was I didn’t know anything about cameras. I didn’t know how to make a film and I obviously didn’t have a special effects budget. I was a kid. So I was learning to draw to get down the stuff that was in my head, that I couldn’t afford to actually do Picture Quote #1

How can I make a movie about the violence of the police if the police aren’t going to let me film it? Picture Quote #1

I love my work, apart from when it’s driving me crazy. But I get to be interested in stuff and think like a filmmaker as I’m buzzing about the world and then see an opportunity to make a film, and then make it happen Picture Quote #1

The main thing about awards in movies is that they can serve as an economic surge for the film. If you’re movie gets nominated for any award it does it a big favour. People might go and see it again... they won’t give up on it Picture Quote #1
