Films Quotes

I lost touch with my son in terms of advice early on. Maybe it had to do with being gone so much, doing location films when he was at an age where he needed support and guidance Picture Quote #1

I love films. If I’d known how to get into or do it from the word go, I would have done that Picture Quote #1

There is a sort of theory that you should adapt bad books because they always make more successful films Picture Quote #1

I think it’s dynamite, the way my career has just kept moving, even when people didn’t know it did. I made such interesting films, but, yeah, they’re not necessarily the big movies that go to the supermarket. I don’t need those movies, because I don’t wanna do them Picture Quote #1

You know, when you choose to make your living as an actor, it’s all fine and good to look at it as some kind of artistic endeavor. At its best, it is that. But the fact is, most of the actors out there don’t earn $3 million a picture and can’t afford to take two years off between films and look for the right thing. Most of us are tradesmen Picture Quote #1

There are all kinds of ways that people present their films, but that’s kind of a good feeling, if you can make it seem like the characters are really there Picture Quote #1

As long as you keep your budgets small, there’s a way of making films Picture Quote #1

For me, making films is about trying to work something out by myself in quite a lonely way. I find the whole thing very lonely really Picture Quote #1

I’m intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they’re done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people’s opinions. It’s difficult to have an undistilled vision Picture Quote #1

I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft Picture Quote #1

I’ve been very blessed to work in some films that I’m very proud of Picture Quote #1

The worst of the action films are the ones where everything is one shout from beginning to finish. And there’s no differentiation between beats, like small or big, or quiet or expansive. It’s all just one loud shout Picture Quote #1

Well, for me, the real excitement of doing physical things in films, whether you’re talking about a fight scene or a stunt sequence or even a love scene, for that matter, is by necessity it has to be choreographed very much like a dance. That being said, you have to rehearse it over and over again and find a mathematical precision Picture Quote #1

I think documentary filmmaking is a braver way to make films because it’s real, and you’re really there Picture Quote #1

The films I enjoy seeing are those that reveal lives I was unaware of... in different cultures or whatever Picture Quote #1

I think in the old days, films really went for the shock, with the blood and guts, but movies are getting better. The writing and directing have improved a lot, because the audience demands it Picture Quote #1

To answer the question, though: I didn’t always want to direct. I just liked the idea of it. If a friend was making a short and needed someone who knew screen direction, I would jump in. It would be horrible, but it led to a short, then another, and another. It was like student films Picture Quote #1

I think films about men are often about characters who don’t want to express their feelings. You’re supposed to kind of admire them for not expressing their feelings. And I feel that’s a bit dull. Women’s stories often have stronger emotional content, which I enjoy doing. What I really love doing is mixing that with humor Picture Quote #1

I’m not making films for middle aged journalists, who are mostly men. I make films that hopefully entertain people, where they can learn something about life Picture Quote #1

I think goodness is very powerful, but often evil is made more attractive in films. It’s a challenge to make goodness appealing Picture Quote #1

If two of your films don’t do well, people say you’re out in the cold and your career is over. One film does well, and you’ve had the best year of your life! I don’t believe in all that’s written Picture Quote #1

In my films that I’ve directed, and my work in commercials and videos, I’ve rarely used handheld. It’s just not something I’m drawn to, but I’ve seen it done very well Picture Quote #1

I make films about black women and it doesn’t mean that you can’t see them as a black man, doesn’t mean that he can’t see them as a white man or she can’t see them as a white woman Picture Quote #1

I’d like to think that my films are personal enough to exist without hearkening back to their respective novels Picture Quote #1

I’m always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting Picture Quote #1

I love doing fiction. I love doing performance films and I love doing documentaries that don’t have music. I love to shoot and I love to shoot things I’m enthusiastic about Picture Quote #1

I went to film school to make films just because you’re in control of the story Picture Quote #1

In films you do a scene, you play around with it and unless you’re doing a lot of reshooting, which no one has the luxury to do, you deal with the problem for a day and then you move on. On some level, it never allows you to go very deep into what performing is about Picture Quote #1

Plenty of bad movies are very successful, and plenty of good movies are not. And distribution is so crazy, some films won’t even get their day in court Picture Quote #1

I did literature at university, so I had a real relationship with poetry, but they don’t make many films about the world of a poet Picture Quote #1
