Film Quotes

Jesse [James]was known as a kind of Robin Hood character and also it was known that his exploits were somewhat dubious - however, he perpetuated this myth. Our film [The Assassination of Jesse James ] really takes place at the end of all that, the last year of his life, at the end of all that celebrity Picture Quote #1

The idea of Rambo is kind of intriguing as a closing chapter. When you shoot a film as a sequel to do another sequel it’s a whole other tone. But when you know it’s the final chapter you try and put in there as much emotion, understanding and closure as you can. So, whereas Rocky is a lighter character and optimistic, Rambo is much darker Picture Quote #1

The alienation effect in German epic theater is achieved not only through the actors, but also through music (chorus and song) andsets (transparencies, film strips, etc.). Its main purpose is to place the staged events in their historical context Picture Quote #1

People are beginning to realize that it’s important that we see animals in a natural state - but through film, through video, through documentaries, at wildlife preserves, and through other humanely protected ways, which don’t involve... performing for us Picture Quote #1

I just want to know if I’m truly not in the NFL, it’s because of talent. Let it be because of my talents. But you’ve got to prove that I can’t play this game. If you look at the film, clearly I can. So, I’ll leave it at that Picture Quote #1

I did a film when I was about 30; it’s a coming of age story called ‘Gas Food Lodging,’ and I’m so proud of that little independent film. I play this young English geologist, and he’s such a simple, loving kind of guy. Doesn’t talk too much. He’s just a quiet guy, and he gets the girl Picture Quote #1

When I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much, I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses Picture Quote #1

There are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there’s insecurity, collapse of financial systems - that’s where film noir always hits fertile ground Picture Quote #1

No matter what character your play. I feel like whenever anyone is honest and whole and well-written, you’re going to be able to connect to that person because we’re all kinda made up of the same stuff and I think that’s always one of the really powerful things about approaching each individual character and role and film Picture Quote #1

I’m really a nightmare for the fashion designer because I take away all of his authority, and I become the authority, and I turn him into my assistant. You could say I intervene, and I intervene in a very determining way in all the aspects that have to do with the visual construction of the film Picture Quote #1

I have great respect for the FBI, and I know that there have been some rumors lately that the FBI was disenchanted because of what we were doing in story, or doing a certain take: that’s not true. Actually the FBI was tremendously enthusiastic about us doing [ J. Edgar Hoover ] film Picture Quote #1

It’s interesting in this day and age to do a film about political espionage and wiretapping. I don’t think that those types of secrets that J. Edgar Hoover was able to obtain and keep for such a long period of time would be possible in today’s world, with the Internet and WikiLeaks Picture Quote #1

I don’t get a chance to cry that often on film, so I was hoping that talent would come my way, that day. I cheated, I guess, when I just started looking at my technology device - my iPhone - to look at pictures of my kids, before I did the scene where I had to cry. That was a good trick that I found Picture Quote #1

From an outsider’s perspective, it’s amazing what [Clint Eastwood] does. If he’s not directing a film, he’s acting in it, or rather he’s composing the music for that film. His commitment to what he does is astounding for all of us to witness. It’s inspiring, actually Picture Quote #1

If I could get any semblance of, not really anonymity, but control over my public image, that would be nice. But no, I think it’s impossible [to maintain that], for one thing. I don’t think anyone can do that, apart from Denzel Washington. It’s a strange place that the film industry is at, where you can just play superhero after superhero Picture Quote #1

I’ve really enjoyed the independent film world. I’ve had a blast. But, the reality is that I really want to make bigger movies. If I could make movies that carry great characters and great performances and great pathos, and can have an explosion or two, that would be fine with me Picture Quote #1

Most of the famous love affairs of literature or film were quite short. What was Romeo and Juliet? How long were they together? A few days Picture Quote #1

I did not grow up a cinefile. No one in my family was in the film business or even anything close to it Picture Quote #1

I actually don’t see that strong of a connection between my background as a rock ‘n roller and my early films. In a way I think your musical identity in film work is determined by the jobs that come your way Picture Quote #1

Over the years, there has been an intermingling of film and aircraft. This relationship has generated all kinds of movies, including those filmed in San Diego Picture Quote #1

The cinema is going to form the mind of England. The national conscience, the national ideals and tests of conduct, will be those of the film Picture Quote #1

Fat noses have no place in the Hindi film industry. But it is not so in the West - otherwise, Anthony Quinn would have never been an actor Picture Quote #1

It’s a funny thing with documentary films - you want them to feel as entertaining and as gripping as a fictional film. With a fictional film you want it to feel as realistic as a documentary film Picture Quote #1

I never thought of myself as any kind of a film star, as many films as I’ve made - and I’ve made some really fun movies with good people. I’ve always been paired with someone because I’m not really box office, in that carrying-a-picture sense. I’ve always been busy, but not in the spotlight Picture Quote #1

I just adored working in London. It was in London where I first had the idea of making a film Picture Quote #1

A reader, encountering a sentence about a barking dog, would have to dwell on why that choice was made at that moment. Everything in a novel is explicitly chosen, whereas some of what a film captures feels incidental, according to the vagaries of photography and sound recording Picture Quote #1

I think when the joke comes from the situation in a horror film, it’s really great. I don’t like jokey horror films like where people are cracking a joke or being post-modern about it Picture Quote #1

I’m completely self-taught. I absolutely don’t believe in art or film schools! Picture Quote #1

I would love to compose more fantasy music, whether it’s for a film or a game. That genre has so much opportunity for harmonic experimentation, not to mention all the interesting instruments that become available when composing music for alien species and other worlds Picture Quote #1

New York is the greatest character actor ever. Any film that is shot in New York is elevated by the city Picture Quote #1
