Film Quotes

I have often thought it was very arrogant to suppose you could make a film for anybody but yourself Picture Quote #1

I want to regard my public as infinitely intelligent, as understanding notions of the suspension of disbelief and as realising all the time that this is not a slice of life, this is openly a film Picture Quote #1

I’m not interested in a realistic look, not at all, not ever. Every film should look the way I feel Picture Quote #1

If you make a movie of the present day culture, in the future it’ll be a horror film Picture Quote #1

If there’s ever a problem, I film it and it’s no longer a problem. It’s a film Picture Quote #1

It’s important that a film is loud and I hope many people agree. You should be inside of a film when you go into a theater. It should surround you, envelope you, so you can live inside a dream Picture Quote #1

You have to steal a lot. You have to have a criminal mentality to be a film director Picture Quote #1

One of the gifts one movie lover can give another is the title of a wonderful film they have not yet discovered Picture Quote #1

I really approached the film as if it was a white big piece of paper and I was going to draw a picture on it. And whether that picture was good or bad, whatever people thought of it, what they could never take away was that it was my picture Picture Quote #1

On every film, the clothes are half the battle in creating the character. I have a great deal of opinion about how my people are presented. We show a great deal by what we put on our bodies Picture Quote #1

I’ve always used my own personal emotions and things that I’ve gone through in my life to build a character. The work that I do before a film feels almost like therapy, between me and whoever I’m playing Picture Quote #1

Well, in the theater, I think you’re actually more responsible for what is going on onstage as a director than you are in film Picture Quote #1

I am astonished and surprised that someone could consider making a film about me without talking to me about it Picture Quote #1

... usually, the biggest problems of adapting plays into screenplays is that they stick too close to the play, and I think film is a completely different medium. I think a novel is much closer to a film Picture Quote #1

The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn Picture Quote #1

When I was younger, I didn’t read that much. I was more interested in film and music. Now I’m curious. I want to know what it’s all about Picture Quote #1

I’ve gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film Picture Quote #1

As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity Picture Quote #1

Film acting is one of the only industries where you’re criticized for working hard. In any other industry, it’s considered a quality and something to behold Picture Quote #1

If I’d have gone to art school, or stayed in anthropology, I probably would have ended up back in film... Mostly I just followed my inner feelings and passions... and kept going to where it got warmer and warmer, until it finally got hot... Everybody has talent. It’s just a matter of moving around until you’ve discovered what it is Picture Quote #1

On every film I do, whenever there are other girls my age, I think it’s definitely up to me to set the pace. That’s because I’ve had a lot of experience, and I think there’s always a certain amount of professionalism that should be maintained. If I was catty or whatever, it would just make the whole shoot unpleasant. And what’s the point of that? Picture Quote #1

I was one of those avid moviegoers as a kid, and we didn’t have video, so we went to see everything five times. I went to see every foreign film playing in my town. As times went on, I watched a lot less films. I have a different film school now. My film school now is my life experience Picture Quote #1

As a young man, even if I was going to see a play or a film by myself, I didn’t feel like I was alone. There was something that was unfolding up there that brought me into it. And I recognised that. For those two hours, it made me feel like I belonged to something really good Picture Quote #1

If we didn’t want to upset anyone, we would make films about sewing, but even that could be dangerous. But I think finally, in a film, it is how the balance is and the feelings are. But I think there has to be those contrasts and strong things within a film for the total experience Picture Quote #1

The business side of film has goofed up so many things, but even that’s changing. It happened to the music industry and now it’s happening to the film studios. It’s crazy what’s going on. But artists should have control of their work; especially if, as I always say, you never turn down a good idea and never take a bad idea Picture Quote #1

Every film is a remake of a previous film, or a remake of a television series that everyone loved in the 1960s, or a remake of a television series that everyone hated in the 1960s. Or it’s a theme park ride; it will soon come to breakfast cereal mascots Picture Quote #1

In comics the reader is in complete control of the experience. They can read it at their own pace, and if there’s a piece of dialogue that seems to echo something a few pages back, they can flip back and check it out, whereas the audience for a film is being dragged through the experience at the speed of 24 frames per second Picture Quote #1

Directing is more what I would like to get into eventually. Frankly, I feel like it would be a waste if I didn’t because I’ve spent so much time on film sets, and I know how they work, and I love them, and I love leading them. I would like to do that as a director definitely Picture Quote #1

Audience members are only concerned about the story, the concept, the bells and whistles and the noise that a popular film starts to make even before it’s popular. So audiences will not be drawn to the technology; they’ll be drawn to the story. And I hope it always remains that way Picture Quote #1
