Film Quotes

It’s really fun to be in a film that’s pure entertainment, that people want to go and see. I think, in the current climate, the state of things, people want escapism Picture Quote #1

With acting, there is a level of anonymity which is conducive to your profession. There are examples of very public people who are on the cover of every celebrity magazine but can’t open a film Picture Quote #1

All you have to do is to look like crap on film and everyone thinks you’re a brilliant actress. Actually, all you’ve done is look like crap Picture Quote #1

I absolutely love television, and I don’t mean to be vulgar, but as I keep having to explain to people from the movie industry, I get more power and more money doing television, so why on earth would I do a film? Picture Quote #1

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it’s so addictive Picture Quote #1

I don’t think that you can be prescriptive about anything, I mean, life is too complicated. Maybe there are novels where the author has not in the least thought about it in terms of film, which can be turned into good films Picture Quote #1

When it comes to films, people often don’t differentiate between the message of a bad central character and the message of the film itself. They are two separate things Picture Quote #1

As long as a film stays unmade, the book is entirely yours, it belongs to the writer. As soon as you make it into a film, suddenly more people see it than have ever read the book Picture Quote #1

I was just a cheap little starlet hardly acting at all in a very mediocre film Picture Quote #1

I always found the film world unpleasant. It’s all about the schedule, and never really flew for me Picture Quote #1

You know, let a few years go by until I hit my midlife crisis. Then that can be documented on film Picture Quote #1

Whereas money is a means to an end for a filmmaker, to the corporate mind money is the end. Right now, I think independent film is very confused, because there’s excess pressure in the marketplace for entertainment to pay off Picture Quote #1

There’s an ecstasy about doing something really good on film: the composition of a shot, the drama within the shot, the texture... It’s palpable Picture Quote #1

Everything’s a risk, by the way, these days. Every film you make is a risk. There’s no guarantee Picture Quote #1

I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard Picture Quote #1

You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates Picture Quote #1

My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn’t changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise Picture Quote #1

I like the smell of film. I just like knowing there’s film going through the camera Picture Quote #1

I can’t think of any one film that improved on a good novel, but I can think of many good films that came from very bad novels Picture Quote #1

If you want to do a film, steal a camera, steal raw stock, sneak into a lab and do it! Picture Quote #1

If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind Picture Quote #1

That’s also why comedy and horror are my two favorite genres of film to write, because you get these outbursts of emotion from people, laughter and shock, and it’s really thrilling, and I like to be thrilled Picture Quote #1

I gladly, I voluntarily gave up the kind of commercial film career I had going as soon as I had enough money to finance my own films Picture Quote #1

I’ve been blessed with enough wealth that I can make a film myself up to a certain budget. So one way I thought I would reinvent myself was just to make these very small, personal films that I’ve financed myself Picture Quote #1

I think for everyone it’s good to have your own personal work on a character and a film before you even start rehearsing, to have an inner life Picture Quote #1
