Films Quotes

I’ve walked out of films. But for every film I’ve ever walked out of, I’ve probably walked out of 500 plays Picture Quote #1

You will find hardly any improvising on camera anywhere in my films. It’s very structured, but it’s all worked out from elaborate improvisations over a long period, as you know Picture Quote #1

People may know me from films, but theater is my first love. I did about 35 plays before I even landed my first screen role. I’m very comfortable on stage, and theater is not something you can just wing Picture Quote #1

Sometimes we misunderstand what films can do. We just throw a whole book in there, with people just talking, talking, and talking. The picture can tell, the frame can tell Picture Quote #1

Films are artifice. We’re telling stories on film. At the same time, when it works, there is a real tough immediacy and spontaneity to it, and a punch Picture Quote #1

Most of my films seem to be about people bewildered by the world around them, who don’t fit into it and are trying to understand it Picture Quote #1

I’ve been doing independent films for 10 years, but one out of five didn’t see the light of day Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been fascinated by horror films and genre films. And horror films harbored a fascination for me and always have been something I’ve wanted to watch and wanted to make Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved movies, since I was a little kid, but I never wanted to be part of that industry. It always seemed horrifying, the way films were made Picture Quote #1

I think to be writer you have to enjoy being alone. I was a loner as a teenager and was always drawn to characters in books and films who were at the fringes Picture Quote #1

I like acting, but I like filmmaking better. I went to film school. I want to make films Picture Quote #1

In my view, the plangent artificiality of a lot of creative work results from the fact that the people who write novels, direct films and put on plays tend to read too many novels, watch too many films and go to too many plays Picture Quote #1

To tell you the truth, I never wanted to become a moviemaker. It was like I was a cinepihile, and I go, like, three or four times per week to the cinema, and I like to watch films Picture Quote #1

When you make these films, they become like your children. But at a certain point, they don’t belong to you anymore; they belong to the world Picture Quote #1

I’m working in a form of cinema that can be described, and has been described, as a diaristic form of cinema. In other words, with material from my own life. I walk through life with my camera, and occasionally I film. I never think about scripts, never think about films, making films Picture Quote #1

I have not been a follower of how many millions my films made or did not make Picture Quote #1

I have not given much credence to reviews of my films. Sometimes they’re wrong, but it didn’t matter to me Picture Quote #1

I want films to haunt an audience, to give them something to remember and be able to talk about Picture Quote #1

I’m always interested to see what films are made of books. I kind of don’t participate as a filmgoer in any kind of debate about what’s better, the book or the movie. So I think it’s interesting when people want to do it Picture Quote #1

I came to the industry with wide eyes and an open heart thinking I was going to make a few films that really meant something that I could pour myself into Picture Quote #1

I was raised in a family where cinema was a way of life. It was not only about making films, it was relationship, passion, love, everything at the same time Picture Quote #1

I categorically resist this idea that films are supposed to be autobiographical and the only stories you tell are about your own life Picture Quote #1

Stage acting is for me the basic form of acting. If you make films all the time, you have so few possibilities to rehearse. And it’s important to rehearse, because it gives you the possibility to try things which are not good! Picture Quote #1

Some of the greatest relationship films of all time, the two stars have hated each other, but mostly you see that chemistry Picture Quote #1

You really think that on my films people tell me what to do? I don’t think so. On my films I decide Picture Quote #1

I love making fiction films as well as nonfiction ones, and hope to keep challenging myself to make better and better work Picture Quote #1

When we usually think of fears, in comics or in films, it’s most often fears on a relatively superficial level: fear of murderous insects, of ghosts, of zombies, or even fear of dying Picture Quote #1

Often, I go and see films where I can see the beats coming. So, if I read something where I don’t see the beats coming and it takes me somewhere unexpected, that’s a great thing to build upon Picture Quote #1

I learned very quickly that the hard thing in life is to make good films. Technically, filmmaking is the camera and the actor telling the story and that’s what I’m more interested in doing Picture Quote #1

I try to balance independent films with commercial films, and I’ve done a pretty good job of it over the years Picture Quote #1
