Films Quotes

People are making better and better small budge independent films these days Picture Quote #1

Watching John Lasseter’s films, I think I can understand better than anyone that what he’s doing, is going straight ahead with his vision and working really hard to get that vision into film form. And I feel that my understanding this of him is my friendship towards him Picture Quote #1

I think television is doing a better job than films in terms of representing people, but television is still not diverse Picture Quote #1

I personally think that Hollywood agencies ought to play a much better role in the development of Chinese films. Otherwise they’re missing out on a lot of opportunities Picture Quote #1

I enjoy making films and some experiences are better than others. Most of the time they’re great experiences... but turning up to go to work on this every day was an absolute pleasure and that comes from the top Picture Quote #1

I think that people who make films and think they’re changing the world are sorely mistaken. If that really is your goal, there are far better ways to do it. I’m making politically observant films for audiences Picture Quote #1

Most of the films I myself like don’t do very well. Every director, he has a choice, whether to go for subtlety and try to articulate every minute detail, or to go for the broad strokes and hope that the people will fill in between the lines. I tend to go for the broader strokes Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons the whole Hollywood way of making films wouldn’t work for me is because the way I operate would be anathema to anyone who wants to hold a job down in Beverly Hills Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked with Len Wiseman before, on the ‘Underworld’ series, in which I was a vampire. The first two of those were his first two films. And I admire him beyond measure. I think he’s tremendous, as a man and as a director Picture Quote #1

I kind of viewed 50/ 50’ and ‘Warm Bodies’ both as my next films after ‘The Wackness.’ In my head, I was just like, ‘I’ll try the big, fun, adventure-weird movie, and I’ll do the small, heartfelt comedy-drama, and one of them will probably work out, and I’ll get to work more.’ Picture Quote #1

It’s gotten out of control. It’s taking bigger and bigger names to make smaller and smaller films. I worry that important films without a big name attached won’t get made at all Picture Quote #1

That’s one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot Picture Quote #1

There’s the concept that if I do this big budget project, then that will help me do the things I really want to do and bring more money to those films Picture Quote #1

I’ve certainly auditioned for big budget studio films. I don’t know if it’s because there’s so much money involved, but a lot of times the pressure overwhelms me and engulfs me. I end up falling apart in the audition Picture Quote #1

I definitely want to continue working in independent films - and big budget stuff as well - but there’s a freedom you have when you’re not getting paid. It’s easier to say no and there’s no pressure to please the powers that be. Also I don’t have to hear ‘flirt and smile more.’ Picture Quote #1

People talk about the difference between working on stage and working on film. I think you could say that there are as many differences between working on low budget films and working on big budget films. You really are doing the same thing, but at the same time you’re doing something vastly different as well Picture Quote #1

Alternate between short films, long form films, with or without stars, small budget or big budget films. Basically a filmmaker needs to be flexible Picture Quote #1

Who says that big-budget films are safer than mid-range films? In terms of return on investment, I’d rather have ‘Sling Blade’ and ‘Shine’ than ‘Volcano.’ Picture Quote #1

Doing the big budget films really makes you appreciate doing movies like Shelter. It’s because this is like doing theater, you just have to hit the ground running Picture Quote #1

I saw what I could [in Mexico City], but we rarely got anything other than big, mainstream American films 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

I was in ‘Cliffhanger’ years ago, so I’m a massive fan of the big event movies - the good ones - but there’s a lot of crap that’s made in between the good ones. It’s just the superhuman films that I can’t get my head around. I guess if you’re a fan of them, then you love them Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite films is ‘Big Fish,’ which I think is a masterpiece Picture Quote #1

My films do have a big following among young girls, and I want to instill confidence in them, a sense of self-appreciation - to make them feel they can be spirited and say what they feel Picture Quote #1

I can’t remember any of the films I’ve done. You go from one to another, and they all blend in to a big mass. You remember the costumes because you remember how you felt - that Western I did with Kevin Costner where I wore the big hat and the two guns, I remember that Picture Quote #1

For ‘Prometheus,’ I came back to a very simple question that haunted me that appears in the first ‘Alien,’ and no one answered in subsequent Alien films: who was the ‘Space Jockey’ - the big guy in the seat? If you really go into that, it becomes the basis for a pretty interesting story Picture Quote #1

For me, the most absorbing films are those that address big questions and real ideas but embody them in small examples that we can appreciate and comprehend Picture Quote #1

I got frustrated with films like Armageddon and Deep Impact, where the only answer to deal with a Near-Earth Object is basically Bruce Willis with a big drill Picture Quote #1

This [the earthquake] was a very big influence on me, and the issue of life and death from then on does recur in my films Picture Quote #1

I think sci-fi films have become rather bleak, and understandably so - I think we’ve made some big mistakes globally with how we’re developing, and we deal with that guilt by creating these very dystopian futures in films Picture Quote #1
