Films Quotes

I turned down the opportunity to be in some films that went on to be blockbusters Picture Quote #1

And trust. It takes a long time to trust someone. You work with people, anybody you don’t know, it takes about a films length to get to know each other. Then if you move on, you have to start right back at the beginning. But if you carry on together and try doing different things, you can all grow together Picture Quote #1

I’m really easily affected by horror films. I have pretty strong reactions to them Picture Quote #1

In all those types of films I wore a tan suit, a grey suit, a beige suit and then a negligee for the seventh reel near the end when I would admit to my best friend on the telephone that what I really wanted was to become a little housewife Picture Quote #1

I was in the school plays, I did a lot of music. I carried on through university for short films and loads of plays Picture Quote #1

There was a time when I feel that I need to take time to know more about the industry, the workings of it. I was doing my modeling, which I really wanted to do at the time. So that’s why even my entry into films was later than people expected Picture Quote #1

I think it’s very amazing that I do horror films when I had this awful childhood. But maybe that’s why I’m good at it Picture Quote #1

I try to express in my films things that no other art can approach. In my monster films for example, I use special effects in the same way one would use a special film stock, a special camera, and so on. Monster films permit me to use all of these elements at the same time. They are the most visual kind of film Picture Quote #1

People often criticize my films for being pessimistic; there are certainly many reasons for being pessimistic but I don’t see my films that way. They’re founded in the belief that revolution doesn’t belong on the cinema screen but outside in the world. Never mind if a film ends pessimistically but exposes certain mechanisms clearly enough to show people how they work and the ultimate effect is not pessimistic. My goal is to reveal such mechanisms in a way that makes people realize the necessity of changing their own reality Picture Quote #1

I’ve made a number of independent films that didn’t receive theatrical distribution, that a lot of people haven’t heard of, and as a result, I’ve conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere Picture Quote #1

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television... I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do Picture Quote #1

My films generally center around thousands of pictures being flashed in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion Picture Quote #1

The future of cinematography belongs to a new race of young solitaries who will shoot films by putting their last penny into it and not let themselves be taken in by the material routines of the trade Picture Quote #1

The characters in my films try to live honestly and make the most of the lives they’ve been given. I believe you must live honestly and develop your abilities to the full. People who do this are the real heroes Picture Quote #1

For me, filmmaking combines everything. That’s the reason I’ve made cinema my life’s work. In films, painting and literature, theatre and music come together. But a film is still a film Picture Quote #1

The films an audience really enjoys are the ones that were enjoyable in the making. Yet pleasure in the work can’t be achieved unless you know you have put all of your strength into it and have done your best to make it come alive. A film made in this spirit reveals the hearts of the crew Picture Quote #1

Critical opinion on my films has always been salvaged by what I would call subsequent critical opinion Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel comfortable with violence, and I’m not sure that I film violent scenes properly, and it’s something I’m reticent to do, and yet violence is sort of in all of my films Picture Quote #1

It’s truly gratifying to see my films reach beyond a familiar public, to get a chance to move new audiences. It’s nuts. It’s extraordinary Picture Quote #1

I don’t see much difference between it and the other films though I can see on a rational and intelligent level there is a big difference Picture Quote #1

I think maybe making films is something innate you can’t really teach to begin with Picture Quote #1

Pornography, it seems to me, is no different from war films or propaganda films in that it tries to make the visceral, horrific, or transgressive elements of life consumable Picture Quote #1

Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard Picture Quote #1

I think film is about images. Cinema needs good images. I think that if you don’t have good images, it’s not going to be a good film. I think all films should be really visual Picture Quote #1

At a very young age I was allowed to go into the cinema and watch adult films Picture Quote #1

Cinema is consistently making a claim to particular memories, histories, ways of life, identities, and values that always presuppose some notion of difference, community, and the future. Given that films both reflect and shape public culture, they cannot be defined exclusively through a notion of artistic freedom and autonomy that removes them from any form of critical accountability Picture Quote #1

Hollywood films are alienating to the spectator because they use too much dialogue, too much explication and leave no space for the viewer. They depress me. I use direct sound, mono not stereo. Just direct sound, so for every shot there are only two sources. Sound creates an intimate effect: the sensation to feel the place. It makes the viewer enter. You have the liberty to hear what you want Picture Quote #1

I wanted something new, the supernatural. The witch, the sorcerer, I love this. I love the films of the witch and sorcerers and magic, its wonderful! Picture Quote #1

Now I have begun to get interested in films and I just hope that people start becoming interested in me to do more films Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my fascination was all things dinosaur, and as an adult, I’ve had some success making films about aliens, so this is a dream come true Picture Quote #1
