Films Quotes

I think that stories, and the telling of stories, are the foundations of human communication and understanding. If children all over the country are watching films, asking questions and telling their stories, then the world will eventually be a better place Picture Quote #1

A lot of my films have dealt with the dark side of technology and stress that you have to examine the ramifications of progress Picture Quote #1

I’ve been lucky. I’ve made films that I really like. It’s been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I’ve gone after lots of things that I didn’t get, pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really, you’re lucky if you get anything Picture Quote #1

I hope I make films where you walk away... with work to do, arguments to have, things to worry about, things to care about. In that sense, I would regard what I do as political Picture Quote #1

We didn’t want to disrupt the creative process. We have the chance to make the films we want because the films are not expensive. It’s very rare to be able to do that. It’s completely pure Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of good books around. People don’t read any more. It’s a sad state of affairs. Reading’s the only thing that allows you to use your imagination. When you watch films it’s someone else’s vision, isn’t it? Picture Quote #1

All great films are a resolution of a conflict between darkness and light. There is no single right way to express yourself. There are infinite possibilities for the use of light with shadows and colors. The decisions you make about composition, movement and the countless combinations of these and other variables is what makes it an art Picture Quote #1

I think I have an obligation, to the people who have consented to be in the film, to make a film that is fair to their experience. The editing of my films is a long and selective process. I do feel that when I cut a sequence, I have an obligation to the people who are in it, to cut it so that it fairly represents what I felt was going on at the time, in the original event. I don’t try and cut it to meet the standards of a producer or a network or a television show Picture Quote #1

Modern man receives a large part of his knowledge and general education by way of pictorial impressions, illustrations, photographs, films. Daily newspapers bring more pictures from year to year. In addition, the advertising business operates with optical signals as well as representations. Exhibitions and museums are indeed offspring of this visual hustle Picture Quote #1

I sometimes feel that I am trying to dig in the world around me. I’m involved in another kind of archaeology to look for another kind of truth, and the moment I find, the moment I am separated from that life, the moment I am sort of in a world, every time I have gone out and performed in the, in the cinema for example, if you do two or three films on the trot you suddenly have this impression that you’re becoming separate or separated from the world around you Picture Quote #1

I love independent films, it’s the only place as an actor you’re totally allowed to breathe Picture Quote #1

I want to try not to repeat myself. But then I seem to do it continuously in my films. It’s not something I make any effort to do. I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience. I feel I get criticized for style over substance, and for details that get in the way of the characters. But every decision I make is how to bring those characters forward Picture Quote #1

I always believe that my films should give some hope to the man who comes to watch them for those three hours. If he goes home on an optimistic note, I would feel satisfied at having done my duty Picture Quote #1

Film has always been a really good tool for me to communicate emotion about why I create a collection. I’m probably one of the first designers to make short films Picture Quote #1

If you’re a designer, there’s got to be some films that you’ve seen that have inspired you creatively. There’s no escaping that Picture Quote #1

I am not greedy. I do not seek to possess the major portion of your days. I am content if, on those rare occasions whose truth can be stated only by poetry, you will, perhaps, recall an image, even only the aura of my films Picture Quote #1

I find that most of my scripts have a lot more scenes than most films, so the average movie might have 100 scenes, my average script has 300 scenes Picture Quote #1

I do films to be behind the camera, not in front of the camera. I’m sure I say very intimate things about myself in all my films, but it’s better to say it not too directly, to be hidden behind a woman Picture Quote #1

Growing up the son of a director has made me very aware of the various turns that a directing career can take. Sometimes your films turn out exactly as you want. Sometimes they don’t. I spent a lot of my childhood on sets. I think as a joke, my father gave me a line of dialogue in each of his films during the worst moments of my puberty Picture Quote #1

As a black actress you’ve got to work doubly hard. But it doesn’t ever get me to the point where I give up on myself. It just motivates me to be more prepared, focus and disciplined. That’s why I care so much about doing black films and making sure that we represent and are represented correctly Picture Quote #1

There’s something very important about films about black women and girls being made by black women. It’s a different perspective. It is a reflection as opposed to an interpretation, and I think we get a lot of interpretations about the lives of women that are not coming from women Picture Quote #1

Filmmakers need to realize that their job isn’t done when they lock picture. We must see our films through Picture Quote #1

I didn’t start out thinking that I could ever make films. I started out being a film lover, loving films, and wanting to have a job that put me close to them and close to filmmakers and close to film sets Picture Quote #1

The dance that happens, between actor and director, is a very delicate thing... it’s why people tend to work together on many films over and over Picture Quote #1

I have never intended in any of my films to sell violence or to glorify it. Even in the most intense action sequences in my films, there is a message about how evil violence is Picture Quote #1

I’m delighted with it, because it used to be that films were the lowest form of art. Now we’ve got something to look down on Picture Quote #1

When a filmmaker does not make films, it is as if he is jailed. Even when he is freed from the small jail, he finds himself wandering in a larger jail. The main question is: why should it be a crime to make a movie? A finished film, well, it can get banned but not the director Picture Quote #1

I love films, I love movies, I love television, I love television series, I love the internet, I love anything that enhances images. But most of all, I love, love movies Picture Quote #1

Blocking and countering like they do in the films doesn’t work, so don’t bother trying Picture Quote #1

I’ve always believed in making films that you make the little decisions with your head, but you make the big decisions with your heart Picture Quote #1
